Shot yourself in the foot with that post didn't you, Einstein? – it is only you lot who are so taciturn about this equipment and it was relatively recently that I was made aware of the awkward name (CPLS in full) for it in the RAF – other NATO countries do not seem to gag at the mention of it.
Perhaps if it wasn't for this crash, more of you may have been more familiar with it – as it is, to not have mentioned in the inquiries such a piece of equipment that was fitted to HC2 Chinooks of the time, well, it would be a very long time before the taboo was raised, wouldn't it? 16 years is not enough.
