RAF Techie101: I must say I had to laugh when you said JJ's knowledge was 30 years out of date. I have read the BoI report with all the systems explained in some detail, and nothing has changed to the basic system in 38 years. As an example, the BoI reports explains how max fuel loading is achieved on the ground, by reducing bowser pressure towards the end of the fuelling. Gosh, is this something new, or has it been going on for 38 years. We use to get 84k doing this.
The fuel system on Nimrod is not rocket science.
