So DV what you are saying then is that the MU is not doing its job properly?

The answer to that, in XV230's case, is YES.
Well well DV I wouldn't like to be a fly on the wall when the legal team at NSG read this and start legal proceedings for slander.
So what if a jet went in with ACCEPTABLE fuel leaks and those at the bottom end of the ACCEPTABLE leak end were not rectified? Big deal.
The jet was required for operations and ACCEPTABLE leaks are just that, ACCEPTABLE.
Once again I ask why all the fuss about ACCEPTABLE fuel leaks on the wings. As has been said time and time again the finger of suspicion is being pointed at a bomb bay fire not an ACCEPTABLE leak from an integral wing tank.
Then again as you have pointed out I am only a "Crew Chief" who has spent the last six years keeping these great old jets flying, what would I know about its fuel systems or fuel leak rates and rectification, silly old me.
A slight bit more than you I suspect.
I think evertone is being swayed away from the real possible cause of the loss of 30, SirPeterHardingsLoveChild has hit the nail on the head in his post.
