There is a whole lot of rubbish on this thread from people who have obviously have never been near albert ! I have worked on them for 15 years and covered most of the planet. The hyd systems (all 3) are fine you have old fashioned flying control cables so you can fly without them ! The CAA dont like no stick shaker and lack of anti icing all the way up the fin as far as i know. As for differences between civvy and military that depends on what model really. Civvy hercs do not have para doors other wise not a lot. By the way the J model has a stick shaker and de icer boot on the fin. Long live Albert
