Having watched the whole programme on BBC1 last night I was impressed by the Grp Capt's ability to deflect questions. (politician in the making?) Is he correct that ALL major components are changed during life cycle servicings ? When questioned on electrical looms he suggested that the aircraft is stripped back to bare bones and EVERYTHING is replaced. IE They become new aircraft. Any one "in the know" willing to expand on this...... thanks.
