Gaining an RAF pilots brevet in WW2

Re Roving11386
Thank you for the amplifying report on the KC 135 accident
It does differ somewhat from the survivor Paul Vances input to me.That said I wonder why the accident aircraft had the
weight/fuel overload that led to Pauls caution and deplaning
In retrospect it does not seem that a 135 could not have done the round trip to London and back even if it had a fuel overload at take off from the US
Anyway Paul lived another 20+ years due to his caution.!
