Etiquette...... fork in left hand and....."Is that a dagger I see before me?" !!

aeromariner - spent a week or so with PH in ZA for AAD in GP in late sept and he was about to deliver his 18th Airvan to Maun! top bloke! that Hansa beer was nice too.

Silicon door seals on later model Airvans is better quality than the older black rubber profile from clark rubber!! but the rear door seal, especially around the forward rocking latch still needs refinement. Despite numerous attempts to eliminate the draught, ,which may even be helpful in africa on a summer's day, that little jet of subzero air can get very annoying at altitude on a cold day. I dont often sit in back but tried every seat on a trans continetal flight recently. Row 3 left worst for drafts. row 4 left (centre) best for leg stretch and warm heater air but is resticted for cool overhead air. front left still my preferred seat.

acft i flew in ZA had Stec 50 A/P, Noice!! why didn't you think of that!
