Just another aircraft engineer trying to score some brownie points, looks like he needs to clean up his act.

Very bad delamination there.
Probably poor maintenance rather than a design fault.

Possible gas leaks could be very hazardous. It looks like the emergency breathing apparatus has been deployed on standby.

I recall two Royal Navy Buccaneers bounced us and then came alongside and the guy in the no.2 aircraft rear seat had made safe his seat, unbuckled and 'mooned' at our aeroplane. He hadn't reckoned on the fact, or hadn't been briefed, that we had the Rear Admiral-Med Fleet Naples as a guest on board our aeroplane. | |
