Has been discussed before. Used by all airlines at some point or another. Its actually made for the aerospace industry and not out of the local B&Q… Does not reflect in any way on the safety of the airline unless it actually was bought at B&Q….

Mmmm, when I remember the state of the interior of that 727, I would be happy if it was B&Q tape – it was the quantity of the stuff on the wings! Eeek!

There was one airline which will remain nameless, but their head of state used to have priority over the one 747 the airline owned. A group of my fellow workers worked out from the time table, the thing was never on the ground for more than 12hrs, and never seemed to have any time for major maintenance…. Probably a figment of our imagination, but when you see what some of the more shabby African airlines do, then it wouldn’t surprise me!
