Lost & Found
Prompted by a comment in Pinksters thread about her new headset I thought I'd ask y'all out there what is the daftest thing you've ever found in an aeroplane when cleaning or maintaining it?
I found a ladies glove under the carpet behind the seats in my old Aerobat along with some cents from the US of A. This in an aircraft that had lived in the UK for a number of years by the time I got around to buying and cleaning it. Were they missed during the Annual Inspections or were they put there for a laugh??? When I removed the inner door panels to replace them with shiny new ones without ashtrays in, a cigarette butt fell onto the floor. Somebody had been luckier than they ever knew I think...
As mentioned in pinkster's thread, I once saw 5 pencils recovered from the rear fuselage of a Tiger Moth.
