I see the knicker wetting is full swing then! :rolleyes:

Considering you’re the person who started “Will it be at Legends?” all those years ago, you’d know all about Legends linen soiling.

Have faith, it’ll be a great show if the weather doesn’t intervene to mess things up.

Someone’s been watching Reggie Perrin.

Time to stock up the station armoury methinks….

Wasn’t the visitor centre once the station armoury?

There are already at least two Flickr groups covering this subject:

(PS – isn’t the freckle cream jar a very old story, anyway…? I also note that the turtle has crept back onto the scene again.)

Can turtles even get freckles?

BF dictates examine intakes for fod -not really sure how you could make it better?

It’s already been suggested that if you stick anything into an intake, whether it’s a dessicant bag or a sack of pickled frogs, a tag visible from the ground provides a useful hint that it’s still in there that can not only be seen by the person responsible for checking the intakes, but to everyone on the ground who looks at the intakes.

At least one of the two serviceable engines that are currently installed (perhaps both?) will have been in situ since she flew in 2007. It’s likely to have used up a good chunk of its 200 hours, so this is likely to be the limiting factor on future operations even if there are no other unexpected incidents.

Bearing this limitation in mind, surely it’s going to choke off donations for what’s likely to be a much shorter lifespan in the air?
