I'm, very much, surprised that there hasn't yet been a reply to this thread... probably because there's too much truth within it!
Well said WeekendFlyer.
Do you think that there will ever be any 'lessons learned' from the disection of FJTS... I suspect not! The 206(R) TPs will eventually become very tired of an almost daily commute back and forth between Brize and BCE.
I suspect that the age of the UK (RAF) Experimental Test Pilot days are numbered; and, along with it; the future of T&E at BCE.
