If it was an Airtex PA31, they are starting to leave plane ornaments all over the place!

Hmmm - wondered why the strip was closed for a while there yesterday!

I can remember my uncle (who used to own a store there back in the 1950's) driving across the strip to get to the main road & checking to see if there were any aircraft on finals before doing so!

Peaches - 'Bugga, the scratches in the runway show that he landed normally and the nose gear collapsed!'.
Cream - 'Nah, hang on a minute, the boss wants that we can get this to show that the PIC was at fault". (Pause for effect) "See here, if we use Vref + 15 (wind factor) and the CASA factor on temperature deviation, we can stuff up (under the CASA typo errors rules) a few knots and prove that this was not only a stuffed up landing but, one done at, oh say 25 knots to fast and he did not use a check list. (Thinks) "Better I tell the little pot".
The landscape from here is is reckless and negligent.
Little pot - " Well boys that's great, stuff the mechanical failure aspect, this is a great win for air safety, CASA (and me). OK, go and have a cuppa, let me consult with a much, much higher authority.
Pot calls Windbag. 'Pot calling Windbag, Pot calling Windbag, over,;.
Windbag - "Go ahead little pot'.
"Got beuty for you, some 6000 hour boof head just pranged (wait for it), (pregnat pause) an Avtex aircraft. We can really make it into something, (sotto voce) if you want, ahh! you know".
Windbag - 'Do not worry about the proof too much little Pot, we are on a roll, and the dude has a history which I can wiggle around to suit. Go for it'. Go team. (yawn) etc.
Windbag calling Worthless. etc. (Techtonic delay - due labotomy).
'Worthless here, go ahead Oh great one'.
Windbag - 'There is a little job I want done, you know, the Tiboobrurra one'.
Worthlhess - "Can I get Ronald, the ex McDonalds boy to help with the dubios details?".
Windbag - "Sure mate, use whatever dubious means you can, but little pot needs a win, so, just keep me in the loop de loop". (Executive joke there Joyce).
Gotta love modern technology. Just when YOU thought YOU were safe

So this is why they don't produce the Aviation Safety Digest any more.
Too many loose ends to cover.
