Starting to do Supply drops from the J now. Wedge and H/P's at the mo.
The K is still the most versatile in the AD role as all the systems are still worked by the old UK style floor. Boat systems and MSP's are still the domain of the K model.
No doubt in time DERA will get the funds to complete all the AD trials, that is if MSP's still have a role?!
From a pilots point of view most tell that the J is more fun, as there are just the two of you 'up-front'. No more stupid comments from the rear starboard seat like "Come left 2 degrees"
The computer does a lot of it for you. J is the way forward in my opinion, and it is MY opinion, Im not slating the K fleet, I just believe that you have to move with the times.
The J would no doubt better serve you when you did leave as the systems / MFD's etc are more like the ones you find in Civi street, unlike dials, valves and switches on the K.
No doubt this thread will turn into a North side, south side slagging match, but thats opinions for you! Lets just keep them well tempered for a change!!!
