Had this happen in Doha in a jet, so not exclusive to Lydd, problem is, what right to i have to attach a decal to an aircraft when that decal isn't produced by the manufacturer and not detailed in the manufacturers manuals? Have the decals being distributed by fuel companies undergone high speed testing at high altitudes and cold temperatures? Are we invalidating the aircraft insurance by applying such a decal?

I did have fun trying to get the fueler in Doha sign a liability letter for attaching a decal to the aircraft without a "no technical objection" letter from the manufacturer.
