At the risk of starting an old War all over again....does the 225 have a MGB design problem? I know all about the zillion hours X 10 to the ump power....and how the Laws of Probability work.....we have had that discussion too. But notwithstanding all that....is it Bond or the 225 that has the problem? Is the fix a simple Exorcism at the Bond Hangar or something bigger at play?

I am making no suggestions....just asking a question.

If it was a 92 involved....I know exactly where this discussion would be right about now.....and am just wondering why not with the 225?

I accept the 225 was seen as superior because of the Emergency Lube system but now we see that can also be done in by events. Added to the other problem identified with the MGB design....is the 225 as safe as once assumed?
