|From the UK AAIB April Bulletin:
“On return from circuit flying the pilot intended to refuel his aircraft. Heavy
rain precluded access to the refuelling station on the grass from the west and
there were two aircraft parked on the east side of the pumps. Electing to taxi
rather than to shut down and call for assistance from the ground handling
team, the pilot misjudged the space available to taxi between the two aircraft
and inadvertently struck one of them. He then attempted to pass between
another parked aircraft and the pumps and inadvertently struck this other
aircraft.”
Saw this today at EGKA, during a French fly-in
Looks like the RH wheel cowl was removed to enable a step to be installed.
This company exhibits at AERO. I may walk by just to find out if the name is really how it could be interpreted.

This ain’t perfect as it only holds one “tire-bouchon”, but could do in an emergency.
Wow, the Opinel No. 10 with tire bouchon! Yours must be a newer model with bottle opener too?
I used to have one (without bottle opener), which I considered lost. One day, Security at San Diego Airport found it for me, in the bottom of my backpack. Obviously, on that day it was lost for good :D The disturbing thing is, that flight out of San Diego was perhaps the 5th leg of a 2-3 week business trip through USA. And who knows how many years the Opinel has been in the bottom of that backpack, which I use for all my business travels and as many airline flights.
Haha, nice! Great winglets too. Beautiful shot, thanks for posting.

And don’t even attempt to bring Branston Pickle through Stansted.
Every time I fly I tell myself what a good job it is that there are no solid explosives. Imagine what a pain it would be if you couldn’t take solids on the plane.
I flew Nantes – Nice with no security problem. On the return to Nantes, Nice security took my shaving foam.
And don’t even attempt to bring Branston Pickle through Stansted.🙂
I wouldn’t dare carry my Swiss army knife. If flying myself, I leave it in the plane.
You don’t know where the credit card has been.
In my wallet! Though since that incident we now carry a Laguiole in the car. I also have a tiny Swiss army knife that is normally in my pocket. It’s smaller than the limit for air travel, but that didn’t stop Nice airport from making up their own rules and confiscating one of its predecessors.
