Operational generation, not a Mick, when every single window load out was wrong and hopper quantities unknown. The bay had to empty and reload a set, taken out to an aircraft already on state and crew in attendance, drop and reload.
Back to the bay and start again. 11 or 12 aircraft and IIRC each large box contained 1024 bundles. I think it took about 16 hours.
I had played a minor role in the cock up. The wing AEO hadn't told the engineers and i hadn't thought to ask the wing AEO. Similarly eng plans had never asked the AEO either. Complete c&c snafu.
