No news on any front at the moment. A few of the potentially intelligent and knowledgable have moved on to retirement and other fields of endeavour.
we might be forgiven for thinking that there is no movement forward simply because NPAS have said and done absolutely nothing in the last year [including the easy bit of issuing minutes and reports on their progress]. not only is BVLOS moribund but so is the seeking of new airframes for The Met and the main fleet.
