Too complicated for our Whitehall wonders to get their heads around I suppose. Spares shortage - buy second hand cabs and strip for parts. Could even try and sell the unused and un wanted bits back to the manufacturer for refirb and onward sale, (Probably at highly inflated prices back to us!)
Hold on though, didn't we try some thing similar with Nomeroad2000?

Knowing our lot its written into the contract that we can only buy parts from Waist-land at highly inflated prices.

Any way, thought the Merlin was the answer to all a rotary heads problems? Whats with all this "Unservicability" and "Cant lift off at full load" nonsense? (Its not underpowered, just overloaded, wrong type of air, no R in the month)!
