Dug the dog, you are incorrect.
As a Loadmaster years ago, I was on a Zantop L188 at Arlanda, as the 3 man crew hurtled down the runway the audible flap warning horn went off and saved much embarrasment !!!, A rapid exit to the left and taxy back to the hold with tail between legs.
Why..because they were all so engrossed in chitter chatter, that they missed the checklist item. The F/E was English...talked a lot ( Still does ! )...and was responsible for the call..and he is still flying with DHL.
Another loadie friend of mine took off on a JBQ L188 out of Coventry at MTOM where they had forgot the flaps, HE said Warwick Castle looked mighty big that day and that the Electra was a mighty forgiving beast.
Thread drift..apologies..but even a 3/4 man crew can balls up
