Bumper, my industrial spies are saying that the MKV will be Bluetooth
enabled, to better integrate with the modern sailplane avionics suite. I'm
sure this will help with the planned obsolesense and market expansion
you've been hoping for

And then the faded MkI that arrived on the windscreen of my Supercub
finally went missing somewhere over the Red Desert of Wyoming. Wildlife
Biologists have noted some strange mutation in the tail colours of wild
horses there....

Thanks. Curt
