I started this thread as a catch all primarily to hold links that might be of interest to stories relating to NPAS and also to resolve a couple of unresolved questions left hanging from the demise of the last thread.
We now know that NPAS staff have been advised to restrict comments to official channels rather than contribute to PPRuNe, and quite rightly so.
The service is doing as well as can be expected with reduced resources. An official NPAS web page gives details of deployments and other activities that are deemed appropriate for publication.
Rather than using the thread to score personal points, perhaps posters would be kind enough to restrict entries to stories of interest relating to NPAS that may have been overlooked by the press or be of significant interest but not necessarily sanctioned by NPAS management.
Thank you.
