The refuelling system comprises a refuelling connector ( 34 ) mounted as part of the aircraft and configured to detachably connect to the fuel outlet ( 2 ) of a fuel supply apparatus separate from the aircraft, and a fuel pressure regulator ( 36 ) having an inlet in communication with a fuel inlet ( 35 ) of the refuelling connector ( 34 ) and having an outlet in communication with refuelling pipework ( 39 ) of the aircraft. The fuel pressure regulator ( 36 ), regulates the pressure of fuel in the refuelling pipework ( 39 ) when fuel is being passed into the refuelling pipework ( 39 ) from the fuel inlet ( 35 ) of the refuelling connector. A fuel pressure regulator apparatus for mounting in an aircraft, comprising a connector forming a fuel inlet to the fuel pressure regulator apparatus, configured to detachably connect to the fuel outlet of a fuel supply system, a fuel outlet for connection to the refuelling pipework of an aircraft and a fuel pressure regulator for regulating the pressure of fuel passing through the fuel outlet is also provided.
