Someone started a thread hear a long while ago about freeloaders on aircraft.
I wouldnt mind starting up a new theread in regards to aircraft freeloaders that people have found.
I'm an aircraft engineer & once found a big brown shedded snake skin while doing an inspection under the rear centre floorboards of an old Papu Nuigini Air Force DC3 that had arrived in Australia for a C of A to be used by Dick Lang desert safari flights. It scared the hell out of me & i quickly threw down the floor board.
An apprentice aircraft engineer i worked with collapsed at work oneday, he was rushed to hospital & upon medical work up was found to have 2 very small puncture wounds on one of his lower legs which pierced through his overalls.
Blood toxicoligy tests in hospital found that he had been bitten by a small venemous king brown snake without noticing while working inside a light aircraft in the hangar. The apprentice survived no worries at all & lived to tell the story. He was a very lucky young man to survive.
His name was Chris, so the big hangar joke after this was to call him Chrissssssssssssssssssssss, Chrissssssssssssssssss, hissing like a snake.
Would be great to hear from others out their.
Chock Chucker.
