I have seen that BDA fit several times BEagle and it always looks jury-rigged somehow and difficult for the receiver to use.

For some reason fuel loads, endurance, and AAR are topics that have always fascinated me. The comment by a Lightning F.2A pilot that he routinely had unrefueled endurance times of one hour sticks with me for some reason, if one hour is "exceptional" what did an early F.3 manage, 45 minutes ?

In spite of (failed) innovations like HEF we never seem to have improved much on good old fashioned kerosene and all the limitations that come with it.

Sorry, I'll stop rambling.
