Jerry,

Obwohl Ich weiss dass in Deutschland es viele Lynx gibt, Ich kann kaum nicht glauben dass unter die namen ASUW du wirfst auch das hubschrauber hinein!!!!

Geiz ist Geil!!!

As to the Nottingham Lynx, IMHO the buck stops with the aircraft captain who is ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE for the correct carrying out of the mission as tasked and the safety of the aircraft and aircrew. The nav system cockups are well known and, as such, I personally would have had a far tighter grip on mother. The experience/currency levels of front line aviation crews in the light of current flying hours cutbacks is, obviously, a growing concern.

What mitigation might come out remains to be seen. The most important factors are:
1) The crew are safe and sound
2)Lessons be learned ON BOTH SIDES of the aviation fence. Give the aircraft and the ships better nav kit. GIVE US AT LEAST A F&^KIN TACAN!!!!!!

Cheers

Rant complete, retreat to cave!! Grunt!
