Blacksheep .... tell me you're joking!? We might just about get something resembling the shiny stuff that some modern biz-jet crews get (wide angle hud with synthetic vision, EFB, etc etc etc) in about... oooh... err when we transfer to an all UAV force?

Rigger - there is an issue with people sticking their own things together with sticky tape and then losing bits. However, some of the linked items are indeed approved for use in one or two foreign air forces, so are probably relatively ok.... especially with a healthy dose of common sense injected!

From reading my past posts I think it is obvious which kneeboard I am talking about.
The individuals in question are only ever risking their own lives so I wouldn't take it personally!

PS. PBA you're right about the flip forwards idea, but to be honest I really only use it for the clip on the front to stop my map dropping on the floor! Oh and somewhere to keep my Brady to stop thieving gits from nicking it!

A few years back I mentioned needing one to the Squippers. They made one for me. Works a treat.

Why not just ask them ?

I gave them a call last July, they said er... yes, but they only ever sell them to the MOD in batches so I would have to wait until next batch order and the price £88, I nearly had a heart attack. Seems the MOD is getting good value for money there!

Anyway, I found a brand new one on eBay for £19 including P&P... took about 9 months for one to appear though.

Flyboys kneeboards = vg
Issue OG kneeboards = utter crap

Ever going to be replaced?! No chance. Every year the FS bods say a new one is "in testing". Every year the lads buy Flyboys kneeboards.
