boom boom boom boom boom boom, an homage to messr Bald Rick
and his definitive work - the german guns!
if the boom does fall in the forest and there is no-one to hear it, does it make a sound?

And after the first boom boom I thought you were going to say Basil Brush.

To misquote Oscar Wilde:
"To lose one boom, Seņor Airbus, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose another looks like carelessness."

hoodie - I must admit I didn't see the boom either when I looked at the pic - I suppose that the concept of a tanker fitted with both systems is pretty unusual, and as the hoses were deployed I didn't noticed the boom tucked away. Does this version have a centreline hose on a(n) HDU as well? Looks as though it has from the pic.
