I understand that Bell have successfully trialed Vegemite as an emergency "run-dry" XMSM lubricant for remote area Ops.
Buoyed by their success, the word is that they are looking to extend TT strap life by up to
four times by liberal application of what aerospace engineers all over the world are now recognising as the "black wonder".
This work of course follows the discovery of 27 "as new" Spitfires buried in transit crates Myanmar wrapped only in cheese cloth and Vegemite.
None of this would have been possible if this product had stayed in Aussie hands. Just as powered flight was first demonstrated by Aussie Lawrence Hargrave in 1894, it took the Americans to turn it into a long running mini-series (1903 - present day).
