Just going off topic for a second , recent comments about the Nimrod not designed to fly in the hotter areas of operation it was never built for it . Surely when manufacturers design aircraft they have a broad range of high temps to low temps into consideration. If this is the case can we say the same about the Hercules,VC10 Tristar ? Are they operating in areas out of there temprature range .?
Ive lately had the chance to do some low level maratine flying and bloody hell it gets thrown about like nothing ive seen before and the aircraft is rugged to handle this kind of flying , yet as we know in the sandy regions there is no requirement to throw it about the sky so less stresses on things. Just something that I been thinking about
