Pobjoy. As per my question to Arc. When was this utopian engineering era
QUOTE=POBJOY;9334478]The strength of the MGSP were they were a travelling 'team' complete with a Bedford lorry load of spares and in-house duplicate inspections.
They could repair the classic 'wheel box' incidents on-site and left your fleet looking spick and span and very fit for for purpose.
The canvas hangars also benefited from their attention and were kept in good condition.
The system was perfect, and anything requiring a 'duplicate' completed at the time.
If one happened to go to the school midweek whilst they were in attendance it was quite a shock to see the machines in bits and on trestles getting expert attention.
Come friday evening they were all back in service and duly signed off,or a replacement in place.
But then this was a truly quality service, provided by highly trained and motivated staff usually led by a Chief Tech;i do not recall a time when the w-end flyers were let down by this system. Sadly in most cases we never met them but their reputation was of the highest order.
And Why oh Why the term 'beloved' did not exist, they were simply a LEGEND![/QUOTE]
