Line drawn under the subject gentlemen. Leon you would be very surprised by what brought the ac down. Please trust experienced Herc operators when they ask for foam. I do not know what the AAIB have found re. 206, but I would not be surprised if a lack of foam contributed to the destruction of this ac.
Guys, please empathise with the wide ranging people reading this thread and the other Herc thread. We want to hear the other point of view but just ease back in how you deliver it. I wish the RAF would come clean it would make our job easier.
Kim thanks for taking it on the chin.
Cheers,
Nige
