Techie, if you don't mind I would rather not say. My point of issue is the fact that the MRA4 pipework is no safer than the pipework in the aircraft that it replaces. Airliners as little as 3 or 4 years old are undergoing retro-work to bring them up to the latest standards decreed in airworthiness directives.
To say I am not happy with the lack of protection and combat survivability in MRA4 is an understatement.
By all means point out any inaccuracy in my previous post, I don't pretend to be a specialist on the Nimrod, but I do believe in common sense.
