But not enough fuel to take it anywhere useful
We did a lot of firebucketing in Cyprus on Mk5s converted to Mk 2 spec and fuel was always the big issue, especially if you were using a reservoir in the hills.
At least you never needed to worry about getting a good overhead when lifting the bucket, just pull 3200lbsft and wait - the load brought the aircraft to the overhead and you gradually staggered airborne
Even with the Wessex's enviable SE performance, an engine fail in the hover with a full bucket would have meant getting wet!
