Unhappy Winco 'Nor too has the fact that the bomb bay has no fire suppression fitted.'

Been on the MR2 for longer than my first marriage and I reckon I know a thing or 2 about it but there are somethings about bomb bay fire suppression that I can't get my head around.

How exactly do you fill a VENTILATED bomb bay with fire suppressant and, more importantly, keep it there?

What sort of fire suppressant could endure in a ventilated bomb bay?

How much (of a suitable fire) suppressant would be required to fill an empty MR2 bomb bay (the largest continuous bomb bay, excluding the B52, in NATO)?

Where the fk would you put all the containers for the fire suppressant?

Perhaps a few armchair MR2 experts can shed some light on that one. Maybe Jimmy Jones could explain it to me when I meet him in a dark alley.

One further question. Can anyone tell me which prominant Nimrod 'expert' was involved in approving the Nimrod fuel system including the AAR system? You might find the answer interesting.
