Brian, so right, and how easy it is to operate outside of the standardised training, and forget to reset to "normal" before RTB. When I was on the line, as a rigger, we used to hate it when SF were given a MK3 for night ANVIS training, or TALO. Eng Ops never seemed to realise that the pilots were unaware of the difference between XV222 and XV205, and, as riggers the replacement of the urinal drain tubes was guaranteed. Despite the "this is a Mk3 aircraft" signage on the panel. But then, that's pilots for you. No offense chaps
