4/7/10
Again not a spectacular amount to report today. Myself, Rich and our new tame ex-Victor crew chief had a couple of dry runs at fitting the RAT and chipper, we know what we need to do so next week it’ll hopefully be back in, done and dusted. Part of the fun was gathering all the bits and pieces, nuts and bolts etc. back together, always a problem when trying to put back together something someone else has dismantled.
Ollie was among us, no posing to be done this week apparently :p but when things involving getting paws dirty were mentioned he disappeared off mumbling about elastitrickery. Again… 😀
Jon appeared just in time to get his overalls on before lunch, so it looked like he’d been doing a bit (!), and Andre landed in mid-feed. I believe they were attending to electrical snags ‘up front’.
Well they were, after we mounted a sneak raid to get our Houchin back that is. Some disreputable types, who shall not be named but are closely associated with a certain recently-retired maritime patrol aircraft, seemed to have made off with it in our absence….;)
Rich fled early, after recieving an ear-bashing from she-who-must-be-obeyed :diablo:, there was little more I could do so shut up shop and called it a day.
Early start next week, we’ll be continuing prep for Wings and Wheels (31/7-1/8, did I mention that???). Lindy’s getting a full wash and brush up as well as all the other little jobs to attend to apparently…
Vulcan yesterday, Victor today; is it possible to overdose on V-bombers?!
Off to the pub now 🙂
