AIR TO AIR REFUELLING
The following photographs taken enroute to Omaha Nebraska (USA) illustrate a typical tanker to tanker mid air refuelling sequence.
The limited view from the Victor cockpit demands great flying skill from the pilot as he moves the receiver aircraft towards the centre refuelling hose of the tanker aircraft
CONTACT--------The refuelling probe has finally made contact with the drogue and fuel flows    
Myself with my own aircraft XA939 at Marham
