There was nothing magical about 4 Tonnes in tank 9
Obviously not Brit; however nearly every time I saw the aeroplane after landing there was, you've guesed it, around 4 Tonnes in tank 9.

If only I'd known that flight deck ballast was necessary, I would have volunteered!
Hahaha It was not as if our guys werer particularly portly either, in fact it was a combination of the portly, the not so portly and the 'I can't see him, where the hell is he?.'
But the aircraft was probably more prone to ground stability issues than any other that I have known in my lifetime.

PS. Would you believe that this brilliant thread has had more than 53,000 reads now? All thanks to Stilton for starting it up in the first place. Keep posting guys (and gal(s) ).
