When I was called up I told them I was a Gynecologist, here I am fiddling around in confined spaces unable to see where I am going.

Well, it looks as if we can mend an engine on the ground - tomorrow - and I'm sure we're all looking forward to it - we do it while airborne.

Right that's a fault introduced so deep not even Chiefy could find it. So looks like we won't be going on this suicide mission....

Chief Engineer was heard to mutter

" Mair speed, Mair Speed he wants, when will he learn ye canna change the laws of physics".
or
"if he comes doon here once mair, I'll shove the exhaust nacelle up his Captains Chair
or
" Ma poor wee beasties, ah promise you some nice fresh Dlithium at yere next overhaul

Skipper was heard to say, "Scotties really lost it this time..."
