Winco,

As to your previous post, not a chance. Firstly the fuel would have to overcome the air moving over the airframe at x Hundred Knots and also overcome gravity as the Engines exhaust is above the bomb bay. Secondly On start up of the Spey 250 there is large amounts of fuel vapour present at the exhaust, And I have never witnessed it combusting.

Hope this helps.
