"Principally, the key factor in the Very High and High risk assessments has been the proximity of a hot surface relative to the fuel system.....It is considered that these areas of risk are addressed as part of ongoing inspections or aircraft limitations, specifically, limited use of bomb bay heating, HP Bleed Air cross feed and the SCP"
Have QQ changed their view from that above now? If so in what way - what are they now saying?

the non-activation of the temp probe in No. 7 tank dry bay area
What is the significance of this?

"tea stain" track
I guess from some other statements above this issue casts doubt on the "venting after AAR" theory in the BoI. Can someone explain exactly how this was preseneted & what it means - does it rule out the "venting" theory completely or is it still a possibility & hence ultimately inconclusive either way?
