Tail-take-off.

Not sure why you raised G-OHOT in relation to this thread as it was related to heavy icing and not fuel starvation.

After the G-ARBY accident I demonstrated to our chief pilot (not Alidair) the way you could connect the fuel truck to an aircraft and pump fuel round the bowser but not into the aircraft although it still registered on the meter. He was amazed and went away to contemplate the matter as to the fuelling procedures we should use.

I think more use of sticks ensued.
