Cheers DS keep up the good work!

Keep it Tidy don't even get me started on the Wng Cmdr EngO at Al Udied who told me to send the Nimrod up for an inverted flight for a small piece of plastic (loose article). When I said that Nimrods don't do inverted flight he got shirty and said I was to get the crew to do a 'near rotate' aborted take-off to shake the offending loose article 'loose' to aid recovery.

When I again pointed out that wasn't a good idea as it could cause all sorts of problems he got even shirtier and shouted at me 'What do YOU suggest then Chief?!'. I said 'I suggest you sign the ADF off as the QR640 holder and then go to bed and let me do the engineering he scrawled his name and stormed off.

INVERTED FLIGHT, NEAR ROTATE ABORTS?

An engineering degree does not maketh an engineer......................
