Amazingly, the beast in question managed somehow to avoid becoming permanently attached to the desk, fortunate since it would have been a real pain to have to work around him.

Spookytooth Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Apart from the mishaps of missing part(s) and spilling C/A not bad at all sir. After an incident with knocking over a bottle of primer I now have an old biscuit tin that I place all open bottles/jars, especially for clumsy sods like myself.

CedB Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 Thanks Simon - I'll look out for one like that, looks just the job Engines. There's a nice method of mounting the radiator covers: Just make sure the nacelle halves are aligned - mine were, phew. The exhausts fit nicely too: …and leave some unusual, interesting 'that'll come in' gates: Wings glued on and now drying, taped 'up' to close the gap in the roots: 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try Charter aircraft. You wouldn't believe the state that some customers leave those in, and of course the crew have to clean it up. Worst of all are the little "surprises" that get left. I have seen toenail clippings (yes, I kid you not!!) .....the napkin trick....A half eaten tea cake or similar, wrapped in a napkin and left with the napkin peeking out of the seatback pocket. Of course we remove the napkin, by pulling it out, only to see tea cake explode all over everything within range (including, in this case, me!). I won't tell you what one passenger did in the snackbox...suffice to say there was no loo on board.... Fun times.... Ian 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
