Puzzled about the questions about dumping fuel over the Jocks. Last time I looked Edinburgh was a few miles from the coast, so returning the fuel to the North Sea (whence it may have come) would seem to be the easy answer, so I assume there was a good reason not to use whatever fuel dump system the Tristar has.

Due to some cock-up we once took off from Marham for a 45 minute transit to Leuchars with a max 86,000 lbs in our Victor K1. Spent the whole transit from TOC all the way up to Leuchars dumping fuel through the pods to get down to max 25,000 landing fuel at Leuchars. Didnt like to think how much that lot cost.
