I still have a problem with the aircraft. Some very experienced and knowledgeable people have been to do the ‘mock-up’ trials and found that it was to short in the cockpit. The seats are crash resistant in the back (admittedly not a bad thing) which means that you cannot store anything beneath. Great all cramped in the front and no kit in the rear – all these comments were unfounded and not true according to the contractor (who again presume that we only employ idiots who know nufing!!).
Still getting the feeling that we are getting shafted. Expensive with old kit and not fit for role – I would rather lose the wasteland stranglehold on us than fly another kipper from our commercial brethren.
