Muzz Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The On Target Op Telic publication has a couple of photos where you can just make out a red/orange coloured cover over the HUD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selwyn Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 This ok? Love the "Warning Remove Before Flight" legend. As if the pilot would not notice the cover was on! Selwyn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPaul Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 There were also fabric covers too, but finding pictures online seems to be difficult Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike7451 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Love the "Warning Remove Before Flight" legend. As if the pilot would not notice the cover was on! Selwyn I think we all remember some of the crew snags in the 700... Pilot; "Pilots wander lamp not working" Lekkie' "Switch lamp to 'on'" For example...

Pilot; "Pilots wander lamp not working" Lekkie' "Switch lamp to 'on'" For example... We had a student pilot report a brown humming noise!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selwyn Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 I think we all remember some of the crew snags in the 700... Pilot; "Pilots wander lamp not working" Lekkie' "Switch lamp to 'on'" For example... 233 Harrier OCU. Job card read: Pilot; "Guns will not fire" Armourer: "Guns and pods not fitted to this aircraft!" Frighteningly the pilot was a QWI! Selwyn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calum Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Pilot would have to be pretty dumb not to remove that before flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonP Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Oh you'd be surprised how thick the growbags can really be!.... If the writing wasn't there I can see the 700 entry being; Snag; "HUD inop" Rect; "Bright red HUD cover removed. Unable to reproduce fault" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagRigger Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I once saw the snag 'aircraft appears underpowered' in a 700. The clearance was 'no fault found, aircraft is a Jaguar' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian G Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 My favourite memory is of a Tornado incident. When I was debriefing the Pilot - the FGCS, (Flight Guidance Control System), Chief was debriefing the Nav. The pilot said, reading the JobCard out as the Nav wrote it up: 'The Radar is inoperative in the OFF Mode'. When the pilot realised what he had written, hit the Nav with his helmet he was holding. (The Nav had NOT thought to switch the System ON!) Cheers, Brian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selwyn Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Had a pal who worked on a Phantom Squadron. He told me a pilot had entered the snag; "Something loose in cockpit." Signed up as; "Something tightened in cockpit!" Selwyn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
