Pretty neat actually. Never seen a video before, only pics. Quite an amazing system.

Don't quote me, but I think that is the video shot during a still photo shoot for the RAF. One of their calenders a few years back had this picture in it.

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.
