They also mentioned leaking wing tanks and TD, DV and Mick Smith were working on those releases as though the source(s) were whistle blowing. The fact is that they were far off the mark. We all know that wing tanks weep and seep.
Sorry but this is rubbish. The articles in the STimes never suggested at any point that the wing tanks were the major problem. It was always the leaks in the bomb bay that were the focus of our attention. If you are talking about the QinetiQ report, we deliberately focused on the more general and very worrying points it made about the then six aircraft flying with the EO kit and the fact that leaks occurring in the air couldnt be replicated on the ground so were going unfixed. I refer you to my earlier post on this page and the one on page 78, post 1546.
