Thanks AGE. The re-lifing of seals is not something that I have been able to confirm, would appreciate any other info out there concerning this subject.

I understand that there are moves afoot to reduce testing on MRA4, cut corners and basically get it to the front line ASAP. Thought it timely to summarize where we are now, in terms of ac protection.

MR2 has underfloor fire protection- MRA4 does not


MR2 has probe inerting system, for pressurixed fuel- MRA4 does not

Neither MR2 or MRA4 has bomb bay fire protection

Neither MR2 or MRA4 has fuel tank protection

MRA4 does not have flight deck armour

What exactly has the MoD learnt after this tragedy?
