It's nice to see someone posting something factual and sensible on this thread.
Congrats Bellerophon, a pleasure reading your measured postings. A pity there are not more of the sane and sensible majority of BA pilots who actually do post on here, the Hand Solos and Tandem Rotors give a biased, delinquent, rabble-rousing and deliberately contentious impression of what BA pilots are like.
Great to see someone who can parse in a grammatically correct fashion too, and can also separate out the rubbish when the usual attempts are made to blur the truth.
Mind you, I suppose a rumour forum invites abuse, nonetheless, thanks.
I vote this thread to be locked henceforth.
