Refuelling Drive Off

In the last 12 months there have been multiple events reported in MORSE that saw the refuelling vehicle driven away from the aircraft with the couplings connected otherwise known as a 'refuelling drive away/off'. This can cause substantial and costly damage to the aircraft and result in a significant delay.
