Third party use of these aircraft has, from the very start, been a key part of this deal 3eng. I confess I didn't think it would be attractive to commercial operators so am pleased to have been proved wrong on this. Clearly some, like beagle, have always been implacably against the entire concept to the extent there's little point attempting a reasoned debate. I'm not sure though, why he feels it necessary to be so derisive about those he dubs "mercenaries" who are actually now doing the job. Did you fly for free, beagle?
