Shrink Wrapped Chinook
Driving past Liverpool Docks yesterday, I noticed a Chinook wrapped in white plastic. No blades fitted (it still had all its wheels though!). I was just wondering why it would be so covered. I know from experience that they move in and out of the docks for Exs or Dets but have never heard of 'shrink-wrapping' them. Any enlightenment appreciated.

I watched a Bell 212 being 'shrink-wrapped' prior to sea freight. It's not actually wrapped, it's sprayed on rubberised plastic. Brilliant stuff. A complete environmental seal, and then it just peals off at the other end.

CG, Yes, wouldn't want him hurting himself.
Forget: "then it just peals off at the other end"
That would only work on a Bell, wouldn't it? Ding Dong!

"Parcelforce mate, delivering your package. Sorry its a bit late"
"Sorry don't want it anymore. Can we return it under the Sales Of Goods Act as it isn't actually what we wanted."
"No"
"Oh I see, you can't take it back? Why's that then?"
"Because you the customer f****d around with the order so much that no one else would want it now anyway..."
"Hmmmmmmm, OK. Perhaps if we chuck a few quid at it we could fix it and no one would notice, would they...?"
