Walter:
I'm sure you're a love and all that but there are several people here much smarter than me and probably you that have, shall we say, relegated your theory to the realms of "unlikely".
While I can understand your desire to be proven right, can you not sit back, (happy in the knowledge that you have eloquently put forward your case), and wait for the eventual outcome? Because, right now, you are becoming nothing more than the "white noise of the internet" in a thread that has more important overall implications than someone trying to hide some equipment.
I have a particular interest in the eventual outcome because I am probably still the only RAF aircrew to refuse to operate the Chinook, (albeit the MkI), on the basis that it was, indeed, un-airworthy.
