I put the Flight International article on here just to highlight the latest information on the Merlin's fleet preparation for deployent to AFG. Shortly afterwards I leave for dinner at a friends and come back (admitably not too sober) to find a whole raft of posts that do not necessarily do justice to the situation.
For once, can we not have a reasoned discussion on a subject that does not sink to the level of (for example) the previous closed thread?
Ah well, time for bed.
