Reports from the front add that the a/c for practice is of little use as it is a poor representation of the modern a/c and provides little practical help to the trainees. There is also another rumour that the powers that be, want as much water poured onto it to eventually make it inpractical to move the a/c to a T5 site, the a/c already looks tatty and I cannot see BA paying out for another respray after the Cosford butchery?
