I understand that Bell have successfully trialed Vegemite as an emergency "run-dry" XMSM lubricant for remote area Ops.

Buoyed by their success, the word is that they are looking to extend TT strap life by up to four times by liberal application of what aerospace engineers all over the world are now recognising as the "black wonder".

This work of course follows the discovery of 27 "as new" Spitfires buried in transit crates Myanmar wrapped only in cheese cloth and Vegemite.

None of this would have been possible if this product had stayed in Aussie hands. Just as powered flight was first demonstrated by Aussie Lawrence Hargrave in 1894, it took the Americans to turn it into a long running mini-series (1903 - present day).

VF,

it seems that AH indicator on your old Jetbox is always in the "same" position.

Keep going with pictures!

Angel Thanks for the compliments

Namaste Peter-RB
Happy New-Year Brother, may this year be the Best yet

Namaste Peter 3127
Vegemite is to preciously yummy to waste in the MGB, I'd rather eat that black stuff Vegemite is only dangerous to the folks not raised up on it

Namaste Jet Ranger & Anthony
Yep the A/H, VOR, DME, DG are all U/S not required for DVFR in Nepal, but I wish all that was not in there to give me more leverage on the club

Namaste Fareastdriver
strangely we have had ZERO snow fall this winter, it sure has been cold enough probably be good for the upcoming Mountaineering season

Namaste ka26
I prefer to use the 3 instrument page, as low level (rare) You watch torque, but I only ever watch Ng & that page gives me a much finer bigger picture? Personally I don't like the FLI page. It's personal preference?
