Indeed Coff, excellent work! Yours is an example for all by showing the concern and insistence that will not accept bland assurance as explanation. I would though remind everyone that annoying and frustrating as the ACO grounding (sorry, pause ;-) is, mercifully this is not an airworthiness related fatal accident thread. We can all have our own ideas as to why this fleet rather than any other has been grounded, but nonetheless it was the right action taken by AOC 22 Group. Make no mistake, the permanent paper trail is vital to ensure the integrity of airworthiness. Put any of it through the shredder and you've basically done the same to the aircraft itself.

Oh, one more thing. Remember that two stars and above are inviolate, one star and below are disposable. Note that when the "apportionment" is eventually handed out! Always amusing when Haddon-Cave is mentioned as the mark of quality assurance. The words "built" and "sand" come to mind...

PS Just noted your post above, Avtur. Thank you!
