Fortyodd2,
Thanks for that,
It was directed at Sid because of the following quote.

"Sorry Pie, I don't see the part that says, 'the 95 litres of fuel drained was all that remained in the aircraft'."

Maybe I should have put it this way:

320 litres fuel on board
Flight time 1hour 37mins @ 185 litres/hr
320-280=40
Which is less than half of what the AIB drained from the aircraft!
Do you think there was more than 95 litres in the tanks?

Or would you prefer:
320-95=225 which on a flight of 1hour 37min would equate to a fuel burn of 150/hr

Apologies if my figures are way out here, I really am crap at maths, (I know, and spelling and grammar ) but I am sure somebody will jump on me if I am wrong!
