The pods and pylons might be built by Cobham, but that doesn't mean they will work any better on the high wing-load 767. The Mk 905Es required aerodynamic modifications before they were matched to the A330 wing; I suspect the same problems Boeing have on Frankentanker Mk1 will re-emerge. The result will be an aircraft type over 35 years old before it gets close to entering service.
