I do remember on C130's at the end of a week det to Pau in the 70's, that's in France for those who don't know. The GE wanted to put the aircraft tech for a hydraulic leak from the rudder booster pack, it only leaked when the flaps were extended. The captain said to him "I put the aircraft unserviceable, you're here to fix it, we're going home". Exit GE with tail between his legs, he did try to drop the captain in it when back at base but he got no support! We did, in those days, have a good few GE's with a time lock on their wallet! Where is the three Irish GE's, Paddy, Mac and Ernie. The "is" is intentional, as those in the know will understand!
