Whilst I was looking for something entirely different, I came across this article  which may interest members of our community.  I found it fascinating.

At the end of the article there are various appendices. Appendix A  table one is a list of the aircraft of this flight, with registration numbers.   This may be of use to back-story creators who wish to add  corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.( W S Gilbert; The Mikado)

It  means that you read  the instruction sheet

Very interesting, but they seem to have missed all reference to the current Met Research Flight aircraft, the dual registered A-400M, G-ATLS-XM425 aka 'Snoopy 2'.

Maybe the paper was written before the Flight took 'Snoopy 2' on?

You cannot view this attachment.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
