At last an escape from the dark ages of ADF !

I have been looking back in my aircraft logbooks to find that the required equipment for GPS approaches was fitted in April 1996!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully this is an indication that all the old ex-RAF navigators in aviation house who blocked the use of GPS for so long are now drawing there pensions. I have to congratulate the current staff of the CAA for overcoming such intrenched attitudes but why oh why did it take so long?
