Ah, LM I wish. A cut-in-half empty 44 gallon oil drum under each wing of our F6s in the hangar just about filled up with AVTUR each weekend, to the extent that if it was a bank holiday weekend someone had to come in and empty them on the Sunday afternoon...

It seemed to me that every available cubic inch of structure in the aircraft was a fuel tank, and one by one they all took it in turn to leak. Hence my joke about the recce pod. And you are right, Mr Rolls-Royce's Avon 300 series was a paragon of virtue by comparison.
