Is there any guidance on fuel amounts anywhere, it seems to me (based just on Wellington and Hurricane MkIIc) that with any sort of bomb load the permissible fuel amount goes drastically low.
For the Wellington that seems ok, I read they had to limit bomb load depending on target distance, and i haven't had any trouble getting to a target due to fuel so far...but when I tried to take the hurricane with the 2 x 250lbs online last night I had to drag it down to about 20%? which is barely enough time to settle in to one's sherry and enjoy the flight let alone get to a target.
Are the figures right? Is there maybe actually some wriggle room in them when I come to set my fuel amounts?
