test flight ????????????
to be fair ,no aircraft comes out of a d check clean .even when the good old guys and girls of syd heavy carried out the work there was always tech log write ups and snags .I ask the question the aircraft had a test flight before being ferried back to syd who signed it out,why did the fly boys accept it ? yes there were qf guys on the ground in sin looking after it and most of these guys are ex syd heavy, you think that thay would stand hard come a release to service signature
