I guess the MOD broke most of those recomendations with the nimrod at some time or another then. Well found TD. However, when was that document written and is it still valid?

One of your previous replies stated that the SCP ducting had some sort of heat/fire detection system. This was clearly not the case on XV227, I am sure that the only fire detection system would be the in the bomb bay. We had no warnings of the potential danger we were in at the time. If I remember correctly the only indications we had on the aircraft was a problem with the SCP dropping out. As result we continued to operate the aircraft on one conditioning system. The first we new about the problem was on landing when the Crew Chief reported a missing panel. Reports at the time suggested that the fuel in the 7 tank would have been near to boiling due to the hot air leak we were still operating the crossfeed air in those days.
There but for the grace of god....
