Mark Hyslop using the brand new Video Boroscope unit. One of the best pieces of equipment we had ever had. Cracked window VH-CZV. This picture shows it best. Happened around 35,000ft On the wing of VH-CZF for National Bandanna Day Just one of those days when you wished you stayed home. VH-HYL was bought to the hanger in the morning after having a bird strike to be followed shortly after by VH-HYE with a hydraulic leak. 2 planes in one day was unlucky.

The movement is slower than normal due to only electric pumps being used Movie Part 2. If the retraction was being carried out using engine driven hydraulic pumps it would be smoother
