Raaf and change. It seams they will change when it suits them. Case in point. When a civilian working as contractors on military aircraft and you sign the paper work to say you done the work. However the military have absolutely zero power to prosecute you if something happened. Guess what they change it all so if you do you now may be prosecuted as a civilian. Seams they can change when it suits them.
Many years ago the also purchased some b200 king airs. They where vh rego. Why vh and not military. . Because it was so hard to do mods as they required via the military system they done the via a car 35 EOs. This meant they Had to become lames to work on the aircraft.
Some it seams they can change if it suits them. Trouble is they won't loose face or give up power.
Cheers
