Have I got this right? The bomb bay fire suppressant system is designed to work with the long range tanks filling the bomb bay, and would be ineffective without them. The AR system is highly suspect and is currently not used. Extended endurance is vital for the operational use of this fleet. With long range tanks fitted a much greater endurance would be achieved. So why don't......oh, of course, all the long range fuel tanks would have been sold off as scrap years ago by the beancounters. Well maybe they need to get Gordo to OK some more tinbashing quick time, or more likely I have it wrong and am about to be left in no doubt of that at least!
