Beags,
There I was thinking you were quite astute, right up to
Enough of your engineering w@nkwords
Some of us have to live in the real world.
And your comment on putting the engineer in the back is a good idea (getting an FJ flight is generall morale +ve with the troops), while valid in focussing the minds of the maintainer, has no +ve effect on either design or operational safety
