UNCTUOUS, all very good stuff, mate! I always thought they would have a long way to go before they discovered all the aerodynamic "funnies" of such a beast. Vortex ring of one or both discs was something I have wondered about in the past, especially during the transitional phases of flight. Another possible difficult malfunction is nacelles stuck forwards / down for landing...

Does anyone know if they are utilising mainly rotary experienced pilots on "uppers" to cope with the higher cruise IAS, or mainly fixed wing jocks with extra training to cope with the slow speed stuff?
