Harpooner: you talk confidently for an outsider?
I can assure you that extensive trials were done by our unit using operational experts on both types (II and III) No-one else is doing NVG except Devon and Cornwall who have completely different spec.
Gen III are too sensitive for OUR TYPE OF WORK, which is just as well because they are also twice the price of our Gen II. Where is the sales sense in that little profit earner???
Who told you the CAA don't like NVG, you obviously haven't talked to Nigel Talbot recently, have you... Get your facts straight before 'harping' on in this forum...too many people know an awful lot more than you think...
