OAP,

TriStar routinely lifted more than 125T of fuel? Really, well not when I was tasking them! Rarely did we have the runway length and met conditions to lift that amount of gas. Even when we did, the single hose limited how many receivers we could take as we ran out of airspace due to divs etc. This is only one of the reasons why I think Voyager is more capable. Serviceability level chosen by the RAF. Yes I cn imagine CAS asking 216 Sqn not to make it too serviceable.

Anyway, clearly you have more than this to moan about, so as I said before, what do you want to know!
