There was a really good article about Fuel Management of the FAW1 Sea Vixen in the FAAs "Cockpit" magazine many years ago by I think the now late Graham Wilcock as I recall (from the FAA museum I think, not sure), that is worth a read. In fact it really struck me at the time reading it - they launched from around Malta at Xmas time on the back end of a Far East deploy- nearly ran out of fuel recovering to 04 Yeovilton (at the end that is think - he was trying to recover to 27 and went into the circuit left hand then onto 04-Winter and weekend and marginal weather). Tanks practically dry as they rolled out.....worth a read if you can find it.
