Grrr

I am thinking the 53E did EOL to a power recovery. due to there only being two prototypes.....and only one that was fully instrumented for flight test data purposes. Also....the 53E was a military protocol not a civilian certification.

one thing for sure.....if the Brits ran a commercial Lunar Landing Program the Operator would require the Astonauts to pay for their own Type Rating!
