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.

The mannequins are really well done.

Matt


[color=#000000]I'll say!!! I was not familiar with it and did not realize what I was looking at was not real until shot #3. No wonder I was thinking 'what the heck?' on shot #1 and 'these guys look a little weird' on #2.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Thanks all

Well worth a visit I've never been round a whole ship like that, into the engine room, boiler room etc. I must admit it was quite spooky as not alot of people around that day and being the only one in the bowls of the ship gave me a bit of a shiver especially when the closer to the water you got you could see your breath and freezing cold like in a horror movie lol. I was expecting some dead WW2 chap to be walking round in there behind me lol.

Cheers.
