In a word - Nope

I had only been back a couple of days and Gerry had me looking at the HDU panel with a snag. I must have had the biggest exclaimation mark in the world over my head.

However, true to the GE motto "Bull***t baffles brains" and "Will you take it" I came through.

(Actually, Gerry sussed it out before I could tell him). That's my story and I'm sticking to it

I'm in luck now, we have C1Ks in with us for the next couple of kites so who cares about HDUs, UDUs or whatever. LOL

Sorry I did not get to call over on the visit but the Becks had a strange attraction for me. Don't know where I got that from? (It might have something to do with the Deci beer runs)!

You just got the pods to think about now.
Which way does that fuel valve go now .....
Remember cowboys or the other Squadron

Trail forward....
You never forget this stuff once you have it all crammed into your head

HOOO YAAAA good news to hear! I havent been on the site for a long time being preoccupied with refitting a 1966 cabin cruiser!

I work at Heathrow and some pretty big rumours are circulating that Airbus may actually/are going BANKRUPT and that A380 that was built will be another 'Brabazon'

apparently the huge 'no show' penalties they are having to pay airlines like Singapore and Virgin are ruining them. Every aircraft they dont deliver is costing them MILLIONS (allegedly)

They took away our beloved Concorde model only to be replaced by a new aircraft - probably one that may NEVER see service - YES an A380 in Emmirates livery

and now BA are actually trying to HIDE the last real Concorde we have here - can you believe it? Its caused such huge amounts of hate mail and embarrassment that they have to do this.
