Brian,
The small quantities of fluid relate to my reference to a "wee nippie sweetie", a small whisky. If you don't drink, then I'm sure there's an alcohol free version, involving carrots. Kgs certainly never belonged on Albert, for a start, I was never given any training in "continental" measurements as an apprentice at Halton. Albert, from my list above was at least from the avionics point of view given a British, not European, identity. As several have already said, why change ?
TCF,
We had a similar situation on a Caribbean trainer where we completed the low level tasking with a crazed Captains window, but had to take a 24 hour delay to replace and test the replacement screen flown down by BA. The crew, unsurprisingly had few objections to the logical fix, and surprisingly, it all ran to revised schedule. I will send you a PM regarding your time at Boscombe, hopefully it will bring back some other memories.
