Mr Ripley,

Interesting shot inside the leading edge there, I wonder if the distortion of the rib structure was down to the explosion of the Bleed Air Duct, or general Albert bendiness? I remember hearing this event, recounted by your GE, at a GE Christmas beer call, he, like you, reflected on the ribbing he got for his reaction. I seem to remember how impressed he was with how the crew dealt with the problem. Once again, we see that even Albert could bite.
