...aaahhh, all things must pass, I suppose, I understand (kinda) why the move from PFA to LAA, but what gives with 'wing' instead of 'strut'? No-one got struts on Permit-type a/c any more?

ps be good to see any output from the meeting, a bit far for me to come, I'm afraid.

I attended a RIN seminar at Oxford last year, excellent talk, well worth going

That's just us at Bristol. The rest are unchanged.

I'll happily to post a summary of the meeting here for those interested.
