And to get back to the raison d etre for this thread - hope you are keeping an eye on it Newt
After a bit of a pi55 up the night before (feeling like death cooled down) - towing a Hawk out at a Pembrokeshire airfield,me driving with a dodgy greenie (leccy) as nco i/c - as we trundled round the peri track - we remarked on how friendly 2 guys were standing outside the ground training school (they were waving to us
).
Then realisation dawned - nobody was
that friendly LOL and looking back we saw the Hawk about three quarters of a mile away with the brakeman waving at us (gee what a nice guy
)
The
SHEAR PIN had ...well.... sheared... good job we had a mug on brakes eh
