I also like it when the Captain or First Officer stands near the exit when your disembarking so you can tell him it was a good landing ect.

Some of our airline captains talk about a chap who stands there waving. They thought, you know, you were kind of special like!
Never mind matey, what ever keeps you happy!

Been to see ZK today and chatted to Neil. Looking very nice indeed. All wheels down and almost locked into place now. Well done the chaps.

Toby,
Thanks for the link to the latest pictures.
Seeing G-AWZK propped up on trestles and seemingly random blocks of wood whilst the gear is lowered reminded me very much of how I used to build Airfix kits. When I came to allowing the gear to set I’d prop the fuselage up on a combination of Humbrol pots and whatever else came to hand in a very similar fashion.

Lucky she's a bit heavier than an Airfix kit though, or she'd have been blown all the way to Woodford by now!
Apparently today has been "interesting" at the AVP!
