Thanks for the compliment.
However, in the back of my mind I cannot not get rid of that picture, made somewhere in the '60s, of a light aircraft (maybe a P28R) with a gear problem. They flew at low speed over the runway, with a pickup truck speeding underneath, and somebody reaching up from the back and pulling the wheel out.
How long would it take an engineer to reattach the PA28 wheel that had fallen off? He had four hours of fuel. That's maybe 40 passes over the runway. If you do it properly you could have about one hour of effective working time. Would that be enough?
Just trying to get the Bo*llocks back on track. It's been a good laugh so far.
