CT,
thanks for the link to the book. It is on the wish list.About time the groundcrew got a shout. When I was on 92 a rigger mate taught me to rivet, with pop (?) rivets. I became quite good but was painfully slow much to his amusement. Still it came in useful later when restoring a classic car. So I can fully appreciate the skill you and your mates so clearly demonstrated.
Shame on the SEngo , every artist is entitled to sign their work.
