Just a quick addition to the spares/equipo's issue (proving that it was not unique to you Poms). We needed to replace the fixed waveguide for the radar on one of our birds (I think after a lightning strike) and duly order the part expecting a huge box to arrive as this item runs from the radar unit in the nose wheel well, through the forward bulkhead to the antenna in the radome and has many changes of direction. So we were totally gobsmacked when this smallish box was passed over the stores counter. Assuming we had been shipped the wrong part we opened the box to see a folded up waveguide - some enterprising equipo had obviously decided that space in his warehouse was more important than a working part so had crammed a mangled mess into the smallest box that they could find. It would have taken a fair amount of effort to bend that waveguide like they did.
