You know very well that both my let downs were Irvin assisted, so was able to replace the lost caterpillar on grounds of insanity.

But I am right that for a while, GQ, before it was bought out/taken over by Irvin were not at liberty to issue Irvin's protected caterpillar to Mk 10+ users. Wonder if they will do it in retrospect? The Mk 10 used to simply have a GQ chute, not a Irvin GQ chute, such is the way of life in the dog eat dog world of corporate takeovers.

Much the same to me as calling an F-15 a bleeding Boeing aircraft its a McDD F-15 for goodness sake.
