Missing items hey.

That is one hell of a list of stuff we won't get tomorrow. Makes you wonder whether it would have been better to wait and put out a more complete bird.

It is a very long list.

The radios aspect is particularly bad I think.

I agree, I would have expected radios to be sorted prior to EA.
