Centaurus recalls the 125 wheels up ... two additional comments ..

(a) in a part defence of the chaps concerned, they were screwed around by a Mirage in the circuit with a problem

(b) the funny thing was that the operator had been trying for a long time to get funding approval to mod the beast from a -1A to a -3A (-1B to -3B ? the memory is not 100%) without success .... Guess what ? ... much of the mod was in the belly area .... the prang proved quite serendipitous in that the repairs included the upgrade ....... didn't do much for the crew's ego ... but we guys back at base thought it was pretty good luck ....
