Uh oh, Voyager Problems - Tonks?

I know that the Tornado is a finicky jet, only being able to use JP-8 and not Jet-A or other grades of fuel like the rest of the fleet, but you'd think that they'd build the plane to fit RAF probes correctly... And EADS was trying to trash Boeing for taking their time on the Advanced Boom...

I think the closest Tonks has been to a Tornado recently is in a VC10 and the closest he's been to Voyager is a Thomas Cook A330 but he may know something he 'can' tell us about this

Yeah, well considering the details in it, hopefully he can shed some more light on what "pipes" are leaking. It sounds like it's something to do with the basket more than any "pipes", but knowing the media, they get a report and then try to dumb it down and in the process get it wrong.

Ahh, finally found a "reputable" source - CNBC - http://www.cnbc.com/id/46962804
BTW, since it reads the same and is a copy from Reuters, I guess we can blame them for the inability to figure out what a hose is versus a pipe.

Where did you get it first?. . . . . . . . . . . . connecting the dots yet?
I'd be more inclined to wait awhile before drawing any firm conclusions. But that's just me.
