DV & JB
Perhaps I should have prefaced my remarks by saying that I am in no way a Nimrod expert.
However, what I gathered at the briefing accords with what JB says - and of course you're right DV, the dry bay is not itself protruding into the air flow in the way that the SCP external ducting is.
What did strike me as a bit odd is the supposition that any blow-off from the No 1 tank should last for long enough and contain sufficient fuel to maintain a fire of such proportions. Any thoughts?
