It is very disappointing to notice that in last weeks Flight Intl an In Brief comment noted that the UK MoD is still only'continuing discussions' of whether to conduct the 'fix to field' on the Mk3s. Will the MoD ever make its mind up over these 8 aircraft (one of which by May 05 had still never made it back from the factory)? It is over 3 years since the MoD woke up to the problems which it had been trying to ignore and yet there is still no solution on the horizon.
And have any of them flown since the last currency trip in January?
