About 411's Posts
If . . . IF 411's intention is to wind you boys up - then he's been an unparalleled success. I don't know about a little dip on the float, you've taken bites out of his whole bloody boat . . .
Undeniably, the aircraft was badly modded, when to fill all the belly fuel tanks would exceed the bending moments of the aircraft. All that useful baggage hold wasted.
The story of how the probes were fitted too shows remarkable naivety. Glad they took the bloody noisy things off. Marshall's template rigged on Door 1L was not the best job in the world - communication would have helped (but in fairness, that is in hindsight).
Any aircraft capable of refuelling a trimotor in flight, could easily take on its task. Ergo, that was not really well thought out - unless you wanted to offload 10 Victors into the bloody thing. More naivety.
Just because you don't like him, doesn't mean everything 411 says is wrong. But YOU are the boys getting all wound up.
If he's so crass, then ignore his posts . . . duh!
