Sorry, I think it will be scrubbed off by the time it gets here. As for TLC, I spend all my time patting the engines, trying to get their head of steam up for another stint with you lot!!!!!!!!!

104 arrived yesturday, in dull undercoat although the rudeer was an interesting shade of orange! I think it must have been scuffed up during strip.

We must have more 10s here than BZN today. Both Minor, major and 104 out on the dispersal/tubes at once, nice sight.

You have got to be kidding

I have spent the last 2 days getting soaked trying to refuel or ground run them. (Eau De Avtur does not do any wonders to you sex life)

Wish you where a GE again with an SVC to do the dirty work then

I never made my SVCs do the dirty work

They had to pay for the beers

Then do the AF/BF, refuel, oils, (mustn't forget the bogs), help fix the snags, (if they are his trade then he can do them).

What am I doing all this time? Wringing the rates off the Co, (not forgetting the taxi money), trying to get the gitzits off the handling agents, (remember the Lobster Thermabors in New Orleans), trying to remember where the nearest Hooters bar was!!!

I was simply TOO busy to work on the kite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
