"Lots of plumbing to do over the next two Saturdays, then a further Saturday as 'spare', followed by an EGR and aircrew training day on 26th March"

I hope to have it plummed by lunch

He WILL have it done by lunch, cos we won't let him stop for lunch till he's d@mned well finished.

If you put the 'plumbing' between him and his lunch I'm sure you will get the required outcome.

[Bovril]

oops my typing/spelling crap

me just have plenty of cuppa's and cake

[Kermit]

Tea, probably, but CAKE ??? Av and Bry not in this week.... Biscuits probably, unless I feel generous and bake a cake for once !!! no promises, mind!

Bovril was allowed to have his lunch about 16:00 when he had finished the plumbing in the compartments above the centre and rear engine doors (Zone 2A and Zone 2B for those of you who like the exact details).

We also completed the air piping connections above the engine air intake, and ran the air start to pressure test the connections and function check the valves. Everything checked out ok, so next week the intake make-up pieces and all the pipework and linkages under the engine air intake can be fitted.

Dangerous to actually say it, but so far we are still on schedule for the combined EGR and 558 aircrew re-familiarisation day on 26th March.

I think Bovril is right, he couldn't work much harder than he did last Saturday. We were a bit short-handed, and he shifted an awful lot of plumbing without much help.

Nice to see the old stalwarts producing the goods!

Hi,
Popped in to see the Guys today, putting the finishing touches to the engine.

Horrible cold wind blowing!

Bovril, I ended up with eau de 655 on my jacket after all!!

Great to see you again!
