I'll give it to you straight, GregP: I don't think the ADF's use of the Nomad took proper account of the configuration, role and environment in which the ADF used the aircraft, compared with the design assumptions.
That's not to say it wasn't a great aircraft. But any great aircraft can be turned into something else if it's used in configurations, roles or environments that weren't taken account of in the original design assumptions and instructions for continuing airworthiness.
