Another unreported problem
I heard one the other week suggesting that when issuing fuel the FMS set the fuel leak alarms going. So much for AMPA. Probably just another bug brought about by militarising a civilian airplane. I am sure they will have it fixed before any risk of VC10s starting to break up in mid air. Sounds like "Send three and fourpence"
I wonder if there are any baskets left from the Victors in museums just like the Vulcan spares that were put to good use on C130 and Nimrod etc in 1982. I guess that the previous design may not cope with the flow rate to meet the required spec these days
Yes we even robbed the museums of Vulcan ARI 18228/1 to fit to Chinook in those days.
Have we lost our resourcefulness? we should be proud that we can fix these problems. However I don't think it right that the tax payer foot the bill for putting these things right. do the shareholders of Air Tanker not take any financial risk?
