Have you tried telling a ferret that it has to disappear into a manhole ?

I knew a BA aircraft tech who said ferrets were used to pull cables through a 747 wing..?

Hmmm.
Just shows how weaselly some people can be fooled - the truth is stoatally different.
That's a longstanding urban myth, I'm afraid. Apart from anything else, there would be the risk that the ferret would stop for a pee enroute.

Rather a long winded but interesting story about how the US got hold of some TU160 Blackjack strategic bombers:

Bit late now of course but the PSSA* posted this on FB, looks like it may be an interesting show:
* A model association devoted to prototypes which are piston or jet powered but fly as gliders, usually from a slope to provide lift.

Watched one of the air crash report videos on YouTube last night with the typical pilots losing all sense where they where in elevation and ignoring the low height warning for some reason. Made me wonder why cockpits now do not have led strips all around them which change colour depending whether a plane is ascending or descending.
"Enough is enough. I have had it with these f…ing stoats on this f…ing plane.”

Yes and all too often missed / ignored it seems watching crash investigation videos like one where the pilots were convinced they were descending when it fact they had the plane in a steep claim such that the plane stalled and then did descend totally out of control.

I know it’s a bit late but…
September 15th 1940 was to prove the turning point of the Battle of Britain and as such has been commemorated as Battle of Britain Day ever since. Hitler postponed Operation Sea Lion two days later, the Luftwaffe having failed to gain air superiority over the British Isles.
