I thought the fleet already was eight.
Giving a medium-altitude turboprop a DAS is interesting. Those things protect against shells now?

Already eight on the UK register, ZZ416 to ZZ419 and ZZ504 to ZZ507.

Not interesting at all, very common and for good reasons.
I was working on this 3 years ago and it was common knowledge. Someone’s trying to make a news story where it simply doesn’t exist.
