RAF completes first flight powered by used cooking oil

[sycamore]

I`m sure `Sharkey` will have something to say....

[NutLoose]

Well the crew have secured their plaice in history.

[NutLoose]

Does burning cooking oil that has been used over and over again qualify as another reheat cycle?

wiggy, eel mussel into any old school of thought containing clown-fish who think oily fish are the way to cure the kissing gourami's on the red groupers team.

Properly refined, bio jet fuel is nearly indistinguishable from the dead dinosaur-based stuff. While used cooking oil is obviously a very limited supply, there are some very promising carbon-neutral fuels based on oil made from things like algae that can be scalable to supply most if not all aviation needs.
BTW one of the guys I used to play Ultimate Frisbee with drove a VW Diesel powered by used vegetable oil. Rather pleasant smelling exhaust (yes, it did smell a bit like fried potatoes).

With biojet you have to be a dab hand to refuel without spilling it.

Does this turbot charge the engines?


Or just leave them floundering along?

There should be a plentiful supply of used chip oil if the Wiggy Brigade of Fitness exempt,very large chip eating, computer whizz kids and drone fliers gain widespread acceptance into the forces

[NutLoose]

Just before take off I bet it was a bit Tench in the cockpit.

[NutLoose]

Asked how much fuel he wanted on board, the Captain was heard to say "fillet"

[treadigraph]

Asked why so much soot was coming out of the back, they said "the fuel is a bit coley"...

[Wensleydale]

Whatever happened to Lard Trenchard?

[NutLoose]

He is still here, if not in spirit at least in sole.

[jolihokistix]

Dual fuel even, just flip the cod lever to oil?

[Finningley Boy]

Anyone recall the old RAF National Service play, "Chips with Everything"
