Of note, during the work up and participation in the Falklands campaign, We requested that mesh (in those days) or foam be retro fitted to the fuel tanks for the Alberts directly involved in theatre.

Answer, why would an unarmed transporter in the firing line need fuel tank fire suppressant? Surely, only "combat" aircraft need that sort of thing"!

Obviously nothing ever changes!
