I may answer my own question in a moment! but what about BDR? In the good old days you could slap some speed tape over the bullet holes and at least limp back to somewhere where more permanent repairs could be done (I say slap but in no way wish to denigrate the magic worked by the airframe techs in the field in the past to get a badly bashed aircraft into the air again
). But is there a 'speed tape' version for CF structures? (CF speed tape? - dunno). Here's the answer bit! - I presume that the various CF cabs flying now (Harrier et al) will have a BDR routine but given that the A400 will have some serious loads on it does this put BDR into a whole new ball game?
