Null Orfice, smudge et al,
thank you for your posts reminding us all of the cost in man hours etc of these actions. I think the week in Bali that the suspect had was due to the a/c having a hydraulic flush etc. As I said the Utility sight glass breakages were the thing that caused me the most puzzlement. It would appear that my tale is the only one that involved incidents induced in flight.
Once found the IRCM box completely disconnected when doing the preflight on a 'Banner' flight . But that was a cock up which I may bore you with later.
I have found a few more black and white pics of my time on 48. The one below is of 'aa' as a very young man taken in the very crewroom on 48 where our suspect held court. Taken by our local newspaper back home of 'our boys serving overseas'.
