Hope some kind soul can point me in the right direction. I'm trying to get an idea of the range for the HC2s we used to operate in the early 2000s for an informal piece of staff work I'm engaged in. Nobody seems to know and the one person I had hoped might know has just quoted figures for Mk5 and 6. I've tried to work this out myself but as I understand it the Mk5 is the upgraded Mk3, but if memory serves we never actually got the Mk3s beyond the hangars and reverted them back to Mk2s. Janes, my go to bible for this sort of geekery hasn't helped either and neither have the numerous technical manuals I've stumbled across.
So would the Mk5 range figures I've been given be a reasonably accurate representation of the figures for a Mk2 or am I getting my Mks mixed up and the Mk2/3/5 timeline isn't a simple developmental chain? Apologies if it's a dumb question, but frankly I'm currently working so far from the front line in a staff job that I have to send my laundry forward. You'd have thought it would be a simple thing to find out how far you can fly an aircraft ... apparently not.
