Stunning shot of a naked Albert, is it allowed on prune ? Meanwhile 297 relaxes after its B/F while my fellow GE and myself attend to hydraulic problems on the Thai 747. A simple matter of tightening hydraulic unions on No3 engine pump. We were rewarded with packs of Thai Airways cards. I remember changing a brake unit on a civilian aircraft at Gander some months later, and receiving a more lucrative remuneration. Our crew enjoyed some time on board the big beast whilst we laboured. For those who worry, we departed on schedule, sober!

Fugazi,
The aircraft were delivered "naked" and painted by Marshalls of Cambridge (the Lockheed designated Engineering authority). I'm sure AA62 might have seen an unpainted K.
