DDS not after MX but may buy more XTs

The DDS have said they are not going to buy any Dinomark MXs which appeared as "Type 77" in a DDS Engineering database following a technical evaluation. "We did carry out an evaluation of the type but decided it would not satisfy our requirements so will not proceed any further." A DDS spokesman added this was a normal process and that other types have been evaluated and rejected in the past, a blogger later commented that it is thought the DDS have looked at the HCS Freighter TYA in the past too but decided not to pursue it.

The DDS did reveal however that they may top up their fleet of Falcon 47s (Dinomark XTs) "now that the Dinos are selling them again". The DDS said they would want "reassurances" about delivery if they did order any more though.
