Plastic cab driver,
I am scratching my head. You said the new engines had anticipators, but I have been told that this capability will be downgraded to match the rest of the fleet.

Any truth in this statement?
Nige, not at all. All the fleet will be Mk 2, so no matching required. The Makilas are being installed because they have anticipators, to then remove them (even if that were possible) would be nonsensical. Are you mixing it up with the removal of the more powerful Turmo 4C4 engines from the ex-SA 330J Pumas to make them all 3C4 powered HC Mk1?
