Just read Tourist's last post.

Do you know what LRUs dervish is talking about? Or why they are designated LRUs in that aircraft? dervish, you are a naughty boy but absolutely right. I don't think the IPT would be able to answer that one either.

Where I'd agree with tourist is it was less critical in this case (as there was so much else that went wrong), but nevertheless a contributory factor and most definitely a situational awareness issue. Another similarity with Chinook Mk2 is the crash occurred just after a very immature variant entered service too quickly; but experience has hopefully ironed out these fatal wrinkles.
