Yellow suits tend to come out with black knees, elbows and shoulders. That is why I where black overalls - they look the same before and after :)

And, of course, it is why all sootys wear black hats.
Sooty

One Olympus 301 has twice the power of a complete F1 starting grid.
XM655 has four of them, all serviceable.

Well as a lecky you are welcome to carry on getting dirty.
Having said that it wouldn't be the first time and won't be the last time I have been in a jet pipe sorting out thermocouple shrouds and helping the sooties out.

Iggie, you forgot Vulcans have a 'cat flap' in the bomb bay.

So I was.......still, an interesting shot, thanks for that Mackrick.

Perhaps I should have asked for the same, but with a PANNIER in place........What say you Danforth?

IGZ:::::::::::::

Alas, I believe there's ONLY ONE Vulcan Pannier
left, and it's rotting-away somewhere in the woods
of Bruntingthorpe! :((

I weep to think of all the "Comfort Items" that
have been carried in that Noble Bin to Far-Flung
Akrotiri, Sub-Artic Goose Bay and many another
exotic overseas assignment.

Maybe, just maybe, someone with some
sense will haul it out of the wilderness and
preserve it to inspire future generations of
whiskey drinkers!

At least I HOPE so........
