We once found our aircraft which had been fuelled for a transit to Leuchars (c 40,000 lb) was u/s. My flight commander captain got us all to jump into the combat-readied Dragonfly aircraft which had 86,000 lb on board and as he was not willing to wait for it to be defuelled we set off in that. As soon as we coasted out over Blakeney I started to jettison through the pods which we continued to do all the way up to top of descent for Leuchars. This was in 1973/74 when as I recall we were talking about petrol rationing and they had just introduced the 50mph speed limit on all roads to save fuel!
