Droopy - no RH left EC some time ago
Roundwego - The experimental test pilots, like the rest of us, are a variable bunch. Some totally approachable, some less so. Fortunately the one who was primarily responsible for the development of the EC225 is a top bloke.
212 - I was introduced to a Brit testpilot at Marignane, can't remember his name but I think he is now the head of the experimental test pilots (which I suppose means that Didier has retired, or maybe I am confused!)
