Dear OOPs
Don't know where you got your information about the Griffin from, but you are a little acerbic for one with so little fact and so much rumour. Speak to the guys on the Sqn and get the facts, it isn't a perfect solution but it could have been an awful lot worse. You can pick up 2 ejectees and work on them, but not as well as in some of the other platforms in service. You pays your money and put up with the restrictions. You don't get a Rolls Royce solution for Nissan prices.
Heads down, look out for the flack.
