Given where the Tucano was assembled, some clown in the MoD decided, in all seriousness, that each ac should be searched for IEDs post delivery. It took a lot of convincing that any search, particularly post flight, was a non starter. The plan was quietly dropped. I will miss watching a pair of Tucanos pass over my house; I used to wonder where the students would end
up. As an aside, there was a study to install the Mk 8LC seat into the Canberra PR9 and T4 - too difficult, too expensive.
