If the RN Merlins have the wing mirrors to keep an eye on possible fires up top (which they do), why dont the RAF ones have them? I know there are differences in the airframe (undercarriage/ramp etc) down to role specifics but arent the gearbox and engines the same, hence potentially the same problems ?
The wing mirrors would also be a help on the SH model to aid avoiding getting bounced one would think.
