Isometric ILU ramps up to full speed

Now the SOT programme has been suspended for a period the Isometric ILU programme can now use the entire Isometric jig and thus 3 at a time can be updated. F107 Palaeocene has just been completed and will rejoin the fleet next week. F108 Eocene is already being updated.

F113 Quartenary and F110 Miocene have been taken out of service and will begin their ILU next week though little work will be done until the new year. The DDS have decided not to switch to the Z6 cannon for the ILU because of a current shortage of the new crystals used in the cannon.
