G'day LNT,

Much as I enjoyed my tuna time, this has to be classed as an improvement, if only for the standard of the tucker. I also appreciate the 2nd engine ocassionally, although I do miss the old "sun's gone, time for a quiet ale (or soju)" times. This flying in the dark caper has hairs on it I reckon.

OK, back to topic. On geared bulk carriers (landing between the crane and the bridge front), if you pick the middle of the circle, you avoid very expensive type noises. That is of course if the circle is the correct diameter, but that's another story entirely.

Cheers,

MPT
