    She sounds a bit suspicious , watch out for the “ticking ” packed lunch she hands you just before you go solo . If she tries to give you the old Ghettoblaster with the C4 battery pack DEFINATELY get rid of her.

    Airbus paint the whole tailfin first as it is made entirely of carbonfibre composite , it’s the largest single carbonfibre assembly on the aircraft and is it’s easier to seal and paint it during assembly . Painting carbonfibre requires different surface preparation and primer than other materials . All the other smaller carbonfibre parts are prepped and primed when the rest of the airframe is painted.

    Steve , we heard you only left the RAF first time round as you couldn’t get an AI Op job on a Beau and they tried to stuff you into a Nimrod.
    I did the OASC at Biggin Hill ( one of the last ones run before it switched to Cranwell ) , I tried to get in as Loadmaster , Air Electronics Op or Flight Eng , made it through the week and was one of only 15 to make it right through , thought I did ok but still got the “no thanks ” letter , I still have the cheesy photo of myself and 4 other guys in B team , one was an AEO who had left and was trying to get back in , one was an NCO trying to get a full commission . One of the guys I met ( another Alastair ) ended up flying Chinooks . I did try again 2 years later but never even made it as far as the OASC.
