None whatsoever, it does show though that even if the boom can deliver the flow rate required, it won’t actually be used operationally (yet).
I can only assume that they plan to increase receiver rates in the next generation of a/c

You have a serious reading comprehension problem.

I bet that I want a fair contest more than you do.

You can’t have it both ways.

No I am not. But like I said, I have long since recognized the fruitlessness of attempting to convince the likes of you otherwise.

Actually, just because your idocy has gotten me into the mood, the RAF isn’t getting anything. It is leasing tanker services from a 3rd party. Now please show that you are not as disingenuous as you appear & call for the program to be cancelled because it costs more than purchasing the tankers outright.

Children, children, leave it at the door.
PFCEM, you have said before that you have no experience in tanker operations in any way whatsoever. That means your opinion is exactly that, your opinion, based on what you have read and what you believe in, and not based on personal experience or training. Nor is it based on the experience of those who operate such equipment, you have no direct access to such people.
Fed, I’d be happy to discuss with you any ideas you have on this RFP or anyone else here for that matter. There are enough tanker threads that have benn corrupted, maybe we can keep this one on an even level?

Cheers,

Rob

Boy, I wish I knew what the hell was going on…

It’s called “forum meltdown”.
It’s not uncommon and has been known to affect even the most level-headed.

Ditto

Fuel is dumped to lower the weight of the aircraft before landing. Not many a/c can land at max all up weight.
The fuel does tend to disipate in the atmosphere, it is dependant on altitude though.

Cool, did you visit the vulcan in a bag that was a war reserve? and kept on the other camp

No, we went to see them during majors, Buccs as well.

I am lousy with names, was the Chief the one in the office with jet black hair that looked like it was dyed, if so he turned up at Odious as a flight sergeant on 18 Sqn.

We had the bad luck at Swinditz to do the AOC’s parade so our camping was done on the end of the Airfield and we had extra drill! 🙁

The person with both arms in plaster was standing by the waer heater on camping when the tank exploded and he was badly burned, he had to go to the med centre when he wanted a pee or other things and a nurse would hold it for him….. :p

Still it allowed us when we got to Saints to be involved with dragging most of the junk out from the Museum Hanger to be run for a sound recordist to record it for posterity, that included the Tony and the FW 190 🙂

No, Stan Currell webt on to be a civvy instructer at Halton, I met him there as well.
Indeed the museum hanger, I was there for the move as well. I remember a Spit, a JU88, He111, the 190 was a T bird, a Stuka and a couple of meat boxes, one of which was the prone position a/c.
