Re: 2 LW fighters drop-tank in a french barn
Bonjour, Oui bien sūr.
I just took a technical point of view. Your's is available too: Is it possible that one Octane degree was more agressive than another one hence justified a different metal? I doubt, but why not.
Continuing my thoughts:
The tank was tightly secured on one point only: This being situated on central brace top and permiting a quick and easy release.
Four inversed "T" peaces of metal where introduced one by one in the four slots we are taking about to avoid pitch-roll-yoke etc movements and firmly maintained in place by a strong spring (One "T", one spring) always in compression, of course. This design helped to release the tank Of course.
I suppose those "T" had the capacity to turn around it's vertical axis when free, hence the difference between the two tanks.
