Hi all,

This Airline and some-others in this area, have controversially been out-sourcing their maintenance (C and D checks mainly) for the last few years. It appears that most aircraft in this area are now been sent to the Philippines for these maintenance, but with no slip in the standards of-course. [;)]

Of course not !

The engine in question was maintained by Rolls Royce (the Original Equipment Manufacturer) in Germany, probably under a "Power by the Hour" arrangement. Hardy a cheapskate solution.

This incident involving a relatively new design has deeper implications.

What I found the most disturbing is damage to the upper surface of the A380 wing (there is video of this shoot by passenger who was sitting just across the rupture)... there was, apparently, engine explosion with parts flying around... [:(]

BTW, what Martin thinks about this (he is, after all, our aircraft engine expert)?

Not nice sight though (especially sitting near wing in question and looking straight at expanding hole)! [;)]

Good morning gents.

Morning men.

Morning. Good, for you, i hope.

Second night in a row that Claire must be tied up to her bed by the medics. Last night she tried to swallow a spoon and her mobile phone.
Have a interview/meeting/rendez-vous (guys, what's the right word ??) with "her" doctor today. And of course fearing what he could say.
Fortunately, her parents are keeping hope and "provide "me with such when i lack, and vice/versa they are sometime wondering how i can stand all this and i give them comfort as much as i can.
There is only one way: STRUGGLE ; but damn < deleted for morale purpose > hard it is.

Once more a big thank you for all of you here (and you are many enough that i can't count exactly !) that gave support and words.

Simon, i am the weakest man on earth, or on this forum. I am just amazed at how much i can bear.
This said without any kind of proud, i don't deserve any.
This is always helpfull for me to come here, write a few words and receive whatever help my friends want/can give.

I fully agree with Simon, Eric. Its a blessing that you have each other there. Stay strong, my friend.

I got up and it was 58 DegF outside![X(] Who turned off the heat?[:D]

[sprior]

Interwebs arriving chez-nous this afternoon. Snorkers all round!

[Onime No Kyo]

Are snorkers anything like snossauges?

[sprior]

You've never seen or read "The Cruel Sea"?

[Apollo11]

Hi all,

ORIGINAL: sprior

You've never seen or read "The Cruel Sea"?

Was that a movie about a couple that was left behind during dive excursion in the Caribbean?

That was one very very sad and terrifying movie... mistakes can happen so easily in such large groups of unknown people (i.e. leaving someone behind unintentionally)... [:(]

[sprior]

Er, no. "The Cruel Sea" is about a corvette running convoy escort in WWII. I think you're thinking of "Open Water".
