None taken, no need to apologise! Outsiders I take it, are not welcome on the Police forum?

I did not intend to throw mud at you or set a fire under your seat, Out of curiosity what is it that makes Gen 3 worse than Gen 2? Having been down the painful line of aquisition recently I am now wondering if we have it wrong and neglected to look at older equipment to our loss? Is it because in urban applications they do not amplify the light as much as a 3?

As for costs we paid just under £8000 per set of goggles, were the Gen 2s half of that (please)

Apologies to Mr Talbot, I'll be interested to see if he will be on his own in October in London.
