True but also:

True also but - any possible sources of ignition inside the bomb bay have been removed since 230 - but apart from all these other measures imposed post 230, i agree that nothing has been done!!
As I said before, I'm not saying there isn't a leak problem
- just that everything possible has been done to mitigate the risk of a subsequent fire. And yes, I was on board the ac quoted in one of the other 2 IRs from last Nov/Dec.
This is my last post on this subject as, in my mind it has deteriorated far enough. However, as i said before, the only way to stress major concern is for those who are not happy to vote with their feet - come to think of it, I might even get another whacking big FRI then!!
[just thought I'd better point out aircrew sarcasm to those who post on here!]
