Yep talking to the Americans, as well as the usual suspects in Europe.. .Just got to watch where they want to operate, with our much reduced range. At the moment, also hampered by the lack of "directional consultants" to help in flight planning, and that is before we get any where near a flight deck, and the fun and games when the sortie is diverging rapidly from the sortie brief, and the directional consultants pull off one of their amazing mid flight replans.

This is going to be fun......NOT! <img src="eek.gif" border="0"> <img src="eek.gif" border="0">

DTWH, don't kid yourself over the suggestion of putting kit back on BD's potential new gate-guard. Politics don't come in to it, it is just not technically viable.

DTWH,

Perhaps a radio link to a certain directional consultant or two we both know might be the answer. Are we still in touch with them BTW?

RM,

Dissappointed to hear that. Care to elaborate?

Once upon a time, as a moderately junior Boscombe Boffin, I was asked to write a paper about the possibility of replacing the BAC1-11 hack on TPS with a 146. Did it get mis-filed or something?
