Thumbs down

Interesting thread this!!!!!
I remember one of Skippy's (used to be Bobs!!) 74s coming out of there, did one flt. and got stuck down the line due to fuel t/x problems.
Fuel leaks from reserves to outb'd mains and outb'd mains to inb'd mains.
Crew refused to fly it (quite rightly) due to the structural implications.
A/C spent 3 Weeks in hangar at base having the leaks fixed. The tank sealant could be pulled off in sheets, unbonded, complete with fluff bits of carpet rivets etc.
BUT it did come out on time though!!!!!!!!
