I love a cock up. When I'm not involved, of course.

Brilliant. Just had an email from my mate at Dhahran. One of the Saudi trainees on a Tornado sqn there filled a hydraulic rig with engine oil, and then ran the rig on three aircraft. They'll probably have to pull EVERY hydraulic component off all three, strip them, clean, inspect, reseal, assemble, test, paperwork, refit, test, paperwork. For hundreds of components lol.

££££££££££££££££££!!

Mind you, at today's prices, 10 seconds of oil production will cover the cost.

And here's what happened at Tabuk when they attempted to plonk one of my old ADV Tornados on a plinth: Broke its back Tony

And THIS little bit of hilarity is what happens when the trainees 'fixed' an undercarriage fault, and then hydraulics were applied: Tony
