Well if you are a Brit you may have noticed that Lord "Bill" Deeds died today. He was 94 and if you ever saw him on "Have I got news for you" or read his column in the Daily Telegraph (to name just two of the many things he did right up to his death), you will know what a great loss this is.
It almost makes me not want to by the Telegraph any more

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
