I too am running out of patience Chappie. I understood that some kind of decision on foam had been agreed and signed last week. The press statement should already be out. Last time it went quiet the reason was a good one. The Govt backtracked on foam for the J. We can only hope that something else positive has happened. I very much doubt if we are now waiting for bad news. There is no moral argument to exclude the J from additional protection. Whilst senior officers and politicians can hide behind their dictionaries the sight of grieving relatives in public is something they are desperate to avoid. You are doing an amazing job. I find it unbelievable that the lives of Hercules crews may be dependent upon some relatives/widows and concerned ex colleagues. All we can do is keep the pressure on and make them squirm.
