For no reason other than it's a tidy number, we'll try and contain each part thread to around 1000 posts from now given that it is obvious that the thread is going to end up being of epic proportion.

Search hint: You can search PPRuNe threads with a filter in Google by using the following search string example -
ths af447 site:
http://www.pprune.org/tech-log/
This will search for mentions of THS in the AF447 threads of tech log only.
Just change the THS in the string to whatever you want to look for. This allows one to search for any term or phrase of interest throughout the threads.
Adding the site:URL end part is the magic that restricts Google to only searching in Tech Log.
This filter technique is absolutely wonderful and can be used generically to find things of interest in PPRuNe - appears to work OK in the PPRuNe search function as well.
