The SCP was definitely a significant hazard to the aircraft and crew in the years leading up to 2004, as demonstrated by the incident on XV227. Thereafter, it was made safe. It still is today.
AAR is safe. Nimrod is no more dangerous to refuel in the air than any other type.
AAR and SCP (or crossfeed pipe) operating simultaneously (or during the same flight): extremely dangerous. This is the circumstance that should been identified and prohibited under airworthiness requirements. It is irrelevant to serviceability and maintenance activities, which we know were carried out to the normal high standards.
Spot on.
