Ooops - however no-one was injured so thats good. Always amazes me how they manage to refuel inflight anyway.

Ooooo glad that turned out OK, I have no idea how on earth they can get themselves steady enough to do this!

If you can get Demand Five to work (iplayer thingy for channel 5) there was a programme on last night called "how do they do it" which had a section on air-air re-fuelling.

I, however, can't get the gayplayer to work and technical support live chat is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.
