Always good when you can chill out instead of working.    Happy for you that you had a productive day. 
We've *got to* go to Birmingham in a few weeks but we'll go on one of those train things, as I prefer to find my car where I left it.

Going to a show that our daughter booked for us.

Yes, to clarify, it is the starboard engine I'm talking about the rumours of it flaming out as the nose lifts. Which as Kevin Wood says, is called No3.

Additionally, there is also talk of there being a direct line of sight between the No1 and No3, under the fuselage, so maybe it didn't penetrate the fuselage.

As a cargo plane, my thoughts were how likely would it be for engine debris, admittedly at high speed with a lot of spin, to penetrate the fuselage (easy, thin aluminium) and the cargo (less likely?)

As all my planned work yesterday was cancelled at short notice, and because I was in Brummingham so couldn't do anything productive at other sites, a colleague and I decided to "collaborate" at the city centre German Market.

Lots of frothy beer and a 20" hotdog.

That's what I call a great day in the office .  And not getting stabbed whilst in Birmingham is a bonus.

As an added bonus, popped in to see that reprobate Mr DTM - great to catch up Mark

That’s exactly what I used Stu. Used it on cam cover gasket corners and various other places.

Found it to be very good.

One Billion.

Not sure if that is $ or £.

Is that an American billion or a British billion? 

As to the currency, well it won't make much difference before long....     

Us and UK billions are the same

Us as in the 'Royal We'?   

You are of course correct that an American billion is the same as a British billion, but it wasn't always the case.

A British billion was a million million and an American billion was a thousand million. Britain started using the American version in the 1970's I believe. 

I'm far too young to remember this of course.

I thought it was still a million million here. Obviously didn't get the memo. 

Sorry to hear that all your billions aren't worth as much as you thought Ron.                                                                   

Will be phoning my accountant first thing tomorrow. 

Fella that bought it (from Scotland) said he wasn't going to use it, just take it 3 miles for it's MOT every year, but sit around with his mates admiring it :-\t...... rather strange, but there you go....
YG03FNV. Looked a good solid example - not my favourite colour, but that's subjective I suppose...

What's the Autodoc-available equivalent of the VX/GM "grey goo" I commonly see referred to? Specifically I'm after some for resealing a V6 breather box. Or is it the case that grey goo is grey goo is grey goo, and so long as it's grey it doesn't really matter about the label? 


For example, would this match ? - [size=78%]https://m.autodoc.co.uk/elring/15483203[/size]


An actual Vauxhall dealership (or halfway decent motor factors) would be an hour's round trip at least these days, whereas I'm in no rush and can just add a tube of something to my order and wait a few days.


Cheers, Stu

Can't recall if they are a 1.2W or 2W capes type.  Reuse old bulb holder.

2.4w for the bigger ones iirc

£834... On parts  . And they didn't do a cambelt,

No.3 would be the engine on the starboard wing. They are counted from port to starboard.

I think the cowling of the departed no.1 engine ended up the other side of the runway so quite possible it killed no.3.

However, one of the videos shows no. 2 at the back spitting out sparks just after rotation. It quite possibly ingested fire from the burning port wing at that point.
