Hey, big pistons and friends, its half an hour to Christmas day here ,and i don't want to start an argument with you guys. You have your view, I have mine and I don't think we will ever agree.
What I have said is what I believe, It is what I have done. In my day job I write risk assessments and method statements every day.
I deal with consultants and engineers and experts every day. These guys write hypothetical risk assesments that make my job impossible. They charge more for a hyperthetical assesment that I charge to actually do the job.
More often than not I find that these consultants specify things that cannot be achieved, and when questioned on detail have to admit that they don' t know anything about what we do. Meanwhile we have 45yrs experience in the field of installing our products with a combined experience of over 60 yrs in our management team of 3 people. We have over 3800 successful installations .
That gives us credability.
By the same token I have stated on here in a public forum that what was shown is not inherently dangerous. I have demonstrated that to be the case.
What I have not done is qualified those comments(because I do not feel the need to, those that know me personally know the truth of my statements).
I have
not gone into minute detail , nor have I encoureged any one to try it.
Also there are geographical detail differences between doing this on the east coast of England and in an air sea search situation in a flying boat over the sea.
I am not presumptious enough to say that my way is the only way , or that I am always right.
What I claim is simple...In exactly the way I act in my everyday work.
Results speak for themselves, they are factual and demonstrated, factual results beat hyperthetical cases hands down every time!
Merry Christmas and safe flying for the New Year.
