@JafOsinta FWT is the acronym for Folding Wing Tip, you’d probably want the hydraulic system to be isolated from that with weight off wheels!

@CaptBob_Nomadic @cubomat As a small boy I recall them occasionally flying circuits over my home… in Belfast. I think they returned for heavy maintenance. The final assembly hangar at Sydenham/EGAC was replaced by Bombardier with a composites plant for the C-series, now A220.

Evolution of a serious RoI-UK logistics clustermess following an ‘incident’ where Irish Ferries ‘#Ulysses’ collided with a mooring dolphin at its #Holyhead berth. Not clear when the ‘incident’ occurred during #StormDarragh, whether Ulysses was attempting to dock or depart. 🧵
1) Stena Line & Irish Ferries - Storm Darragh disruption. Stena Estrid & James Joyce are moored at their respective berths in Dublin Port and haven't sailed in the last 24 hours. Isle of Innisfree is moored in Pembroke Dock and hasn't sailed in the last 24 hours.

The simple raisin d’etre of the now president elect is to ‘defecate on the pavement’ every single day, to ensure people look down on the ground so as to distract the common person from what’s happening around them.
