Wow, I'm glad I'm not the guy working on that engine. I could see that thing just rolling over and squashing the poor fellow!

That's nothing. How many pictures have seen from that era (and before) with the crews leaning over an engine with cigarettes hanging out of their mouths?

I worked with an auto mechanic who used to do that. He set the air filter on a Webber carb on fire one day, casually swatted out the flame with his left hand while turning a screwdriver with his right.

Thanks for all the picture posts Shawn. Great stuff.

Great stuff Shawn. Anyone have the ID's of the people in the photos? I think the Dreadnought photo should be printed, framed and hung in every airport restaurant in the country.
