Ah the glorious design engineers.

This is how they used to do design repair schemes up in Aberdeen for the S61's.

1 Licensed engineer finds corrosion hole where engine bay meets the structure under the fibreglass fillets.

2 Licensed engineers makes up suitable repair plates I.A.W the repair manual.

3 Licensed engineers takes the plates into the office and photocopies them, rivet holes and all.

4 Licensed engineer faxes the copies to engineering in Aberdeen.

5 One week later a set of drawings appears with all the little engineering bells and whistles on them.

By then the aircraft has already being flying for a week.
