I recall (more or less as the time delta increases) the F28 had an Ops Manual procedure for MMA out of the way refuel ops and, stretching the memory cells here, I think we also had a procedure on the Electra to get the F28 out of trouble, mainly for PER wx diversions to KAL and such .. one thing the Goose had was plenty of gas carrying capability on domestic ops .. PER-MEL and wx problems .. no worry .. carry Auckland.
Certainly, using the available aircraft to tanker in from outports during fuel strikes, etc., was routine run of the mill .. although used delicately so as not to inflame the industrial situation of the day.
