Have we learnt nothing from the past, here we go again to try to improve the ADS systems, that are used by the rest of the C130 users around the world.
Proven tested sytems that have performed well in combat, have a proven safety record, and have been tested time and again.
I will bet too that by the time that you get to use this new system, that the costs will have blown out the window, and you will end up with a system that could be incompatable with every other operator.
I also cannot believe that only now that the MOD is thinking what are we going to do about the A400M.
Still what else could we expect from the people who brought us the foam situation.
Have the movers got a say in this too, if so God help us all, wonder they still are not using tape to hold the loads down.
Is there not something more important that needs to be researched for gear that cannot be bought off the shelf.

Col Tigwell
