Blakey,
Thanks for confirming my suspicions. I remember having a conversation with a Nav from a competing Canadian team the year I was GE on "the spare", he was quite put out that, despite there being no rules to prevent it, it did give an advantage, even if only by saving the groundcrew the cleaning that everyone else underwent. After a couple more beers, he agreed that the RAF team was only guilty of making life easier for themselves, and not improving their chances of winning. That was down to pure skill.
