Dixons cider/.ACMS.....yeah mate ..at first thought they were a bloody joke but now believe they are ingenius indeed....they cover all windows ,sides as well and are very easy to place......once parking brake is set,and shutdown checklist is complete,the ground crew pass the bra up to the cockpit ,on poles to both sides of aircraft....both I and the F/O grab the respective sides(with the side windows open)set in place(there is also a hole for the ice probe)pull the straps to in inside of the cocpit and secure the window...basically jams the cord (very thin) to the inside....

Usaully takes less than a minute to put on....would like to post a picture,(havent figured out how to do that yet)very light,and very effective in keeping temps low and ecams away.....you jokers have only posted a couple of jokes ....we have many for them....but I kid you not,there is nothing worse(as you all know)getting into a stinking hot A/C that has been sitting on the ramp for hours as a cooker.....they may sound like a joke,but they are very effective ....PB
