thanks

Gents

please let me take this opportunity to thank you for the prompt, detailed, reassuring and genuine responses to my post. It must be quite common to encounter questions seeking reassurrance like this, you have a specialist trade and its fare to say that in this case here that an incident or occurrence that i was involved in is nothing to some people in the tade but something to a nobody who is not in your trade so i appreciate your responses greatly.

This is the first official mention of this i have ever heard so thanks to you for that, again i thought i should have seen this as my position is in rig management/safety offshore.

The report which appears quite non eventful and dilute when the written word is read left me with only 3 questions

a) Why did this lateral vibration occur was it a product of the earlier repair
b) Although it did not show its self again a vibration was felt inbound albeit to a lesser degree (trust me)
c) If it had reocurred to its full extent again, lets say half way home what could have been the outcome, was it serious enough to warrant emergency action or would we just have rattled home.

Never will i doubt what im told by gents like yourselves but a picture paints a thousand words and there were 15 faces on that a/c that were a picture (engineer included)

Thanks again for your help and the sheer professionalisim that you provide us with every day.................
