    I've had refuellers and loaders writing football graffitti in the dirt on the sides and belly, around the refuelling panel and the gear doors. I had to replace a window sliding panel after a child dug into it with a biro (parents got the bill for that one). I also saw Nazi slogans written with greasy fingers inside a refuelling panel on an aircraft that had come back from Lithuania.Swastikas and slashed Jewish stars, would you believe!.....

    Did the parents really get the bill?

    Long as it wasn't in a certain script/font I wouldn't be too concerned.

    sure did...company made a point of pursuing them and parents were mortified. They were seated away from the child, who was about 12 yrs old. Cabin crew pointed it out to me as the transit engineer, I called it in and the family were called to one side. Parents hadn't a clue until the daughter admitted it and they went mental. Offered to pay for it at once, deeply mortified,etc,etc. I changed it and the flight went on it's way.

    Are we talking about the window shade here?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,984 ✭✭✭Stovepipe


    yes, the sliding piece. Cost them a couple of hundred in the end. Part was unrepairable with blue biro gouges.

    I took FR843 from KIR to LTN last Friday the 7th, I can't remember the aircraft's reg.
    I noticed a sticker about 12cm diameter stuck to the fuselage to the left of the rear door at about shoulder height and 30cm away from the opening.
    On leaving the aircraft I scraped at it with my nail, it was well stuck on.
    The writing was in a sort of bubble script, I think it was for a band.

    Nothing to add the thread really but on aircraft everything is located forward or aft and left right as your looking forward .
    For instance that sticker was located 30cm aft of Door 2 left at shoulder height .

    When I was spotting in the 80s and 90s security wasn't quite what it is now. The Dutch spotters group scramble used to have stickers and could bet your bottom dollar if you went to an obscure airfield in the middle of no where you would find a scramble sticker often on aircraft. They were very partial to military aircraft .....
