Presumably the nub of the problem was that automatic nosewheel up overrode manual undercarriage down and automatic nosedown canards overrode full back stick then automatic scratch my nose cost the manual taxpayer automatically the price of a new teabag?

Skid blocks would be a good idea - use some of that MF7 technology!

Sorry, on reflection, that was a little obscure. MF7 = Maurice Farman Longhorn :}

Any news on the airworthiness of the airframe? The last rumour I heard was that it's pretty shagged - with some fracture lines found. Typhoon Chrimbo tree here we come...

batfink, when I find out you can be sure I won't post the answer here.

This is, after all, a rumour net so please feel free to rumour and speculate but don't be aggreived if you get crap answers.

Very true! Sorry for being so low as to ask a serious question!
Guess I'll have to see if it's tail number appears in the skies - evidence, after all, quashes all rumours! ;)
