Was Neil wearing his health and safety hat like he does with the jet? And was the fire extinguisher to hand?  If not I feel you only have yourselves to blame! Lol

No we neglected our H&S duties. But I was also missing a key antenna tracking component!
Luckily it was out by the time we got there, but the heat was intense still. The GP battery was really hot, but hadn't yet exploded

Was that a subtle dig and an attempt at apportioning blame?  Lol

Totally your fault Chris. If you were there we wouldn't have had as much beer to drink each and therefore we wouldn't have been so stupid.

Lol, so the drinking took place preflight?

Yes you do! Cows are bigger than you think in real life!

That's your best landing ever, I remember watching you on approach think, is he doing a low pass?
