Dominator2, I don't know why the 90 min figure has been adopted. I vaguely remember back on the F4 we didn't like being more than 90 min away from a div when flying on QRA - IIRC?
The Victor had rather a slow transfer rate from the Mk20 pods compared with the HDU, whereas the VC10K had a much better rate from the Mk32s. Again, with the F4 we preferred the Victor centreline as it was so much faster than the wing hoses and suited the F4 onload rate better, but the Tornado onload rate is slower, so less of an issue. But as for the Typhoon onload rate....
