Wokkawokka. Please pass on the congratulations of self and Mrs FV to 27for a superb performance. Mrs FV is looking around for a suitable cyber-pen pal for Padders (he should not hold his breath!).
Concerning the breath-taking checklists, is there not some way of doing everything ujp to "engine start" and then disconnecting the 28v or whatever, equivalent to leaving the Vulcan at RS15? Then all that is needed is 28v ON, press the tits and after-starting checks. Nevertheless, it made splendid TV.
