The Boys Prior to Leaving Singapore

S/O Peter Weir, Capt Tom Cook, F/O Rod Andrewartha in front of the Fifth Pod. Note the ice deflector fitted and that the first row of blades has been removed. The ice deflector is mandatory for flight in icing conditions. And I noticed the centre spinner rotating in flight, so some degree of windmilling is going on.

G'day Richard, you're absolutely right - even at a reduced cruising speed our night was shorter than yours!
Well done to the whole maintenance team involved in this demanding job and thanks for your kind comments.

Nice Shots
You guys get the easy job, we spent 30+ hours to get the aircraft at that stage.
Glad to see you get it back to Sydney in one piece
Regards
Richard
