That's probably the waste they were whingeing about - hiring a day-only VFR machine 24/7!
I am abit behind on this thread, but am I right in thinking the BBC's leased twin is NOT night rated but the "day-only VFR machine" GPIXX has the full night kit and was the one providing the NIGHT coverage of the last living moments of the whale to both the BBC and ITN?
Oh, and loving the suggestion we should all get two TR's, two transmissions etc to go with our two engines! More weight! Def no chance of a night kit then!
