So we have sold our car industry and then closed the rest down, we no longer build aircraft and now we are selling the company that runs our airports. Do we have anything else left in the UK to give away??

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
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.

It was either the Spanish or the Americans so...Still a shame to see part of our infrastructure being sold off :(.

I'd have sooner have had the Americans. After all the trouble the Spanish cause over flights to Gibraltar and their sympathy strikes every summer holiday with their French counterparts I have little or no faith in them when it comes to anything aviation related...
