Perhaps PA4 hasn't been very "well".....? That would explain why it hasn't been seen flying very much - but maybe there are less sinister explainations?
Less sinister if my rumour is correct. I understand that it doesn't have a Release to Service for 'lesser mortals' than Test Pilots to fly her at present. Dunno if it's true, but it would make sense. Otherwise, you would have to fly her under AvP67 which is normally for TPs and Contractors only (although we did do some "jiggery pokery" last time BWOS failed to deliver on time with Typhoon and flew on AvP67 for a little bit ).

Anyone confirm?
