Since retiring I have not visited prune for some considerable time, so it is interesting to see how times have changed.
Then many of the subscribers were castigating the V22, claiming that it was fatally flawed, useless and would never be a success.
Today The President of the USA uses one!

It reminds me that in the early mid 90's one of my favourite authors was Dale Brown. His book Hammerheads which I found fascinating featured the V22 Osprey but was written long before the aircraft became a reality. He later drifted off into semi science fiction and I lost interest. But at the time really good!
