OK – off thread – but couldn’t resist.
Working maintenance for an airline that operated BAe146 in a hangar where we fixed the “other type” – one day they decide to day 146 engine change in “our” hangar – not a problem they sent in a “team of “specialists” to do the job so we could continue with “our” type.
Engine change done – off it goes – BIG PANIC – when it got to destination no engine exhaust shroud – appropriate reports made (CAA – everyone along route etc).
Then someone asks one of the bosses – what’s that 146 bit going over there in the corner ??
Boy was I glad I wasn’t a 146 “specialist”
(oh & no we didn't hide it)
