But isn't that the wrong size to fit inside a British aeroplane?

The engine's American.

But I tend to use the US kneeboard over in the US. I have an A5 one to use in the 'dog! :)

Interesting thought there Paul. Not that I have any room for a kneeboard, but do you think rubbing garlic into a foolscap one as you reach Mid-Channel could be benficial?

No, as that wouldn't cause one's breath to smell. The garlic should be consumed in a sandwich. The sandwich should be in an approved container. Discuss,

I have metric, imperial and BA size fasteners on my aeroplane, so I should be good for worldwide. Or otherwise nowhere perhaps.

Anyway, I'm reliably informed that an A5 size kneeboard works in France, as long as you're still on the UK 1/2 mil chart.

Back to the original topic, what about a set of goggles?

I've got a Vendeneyev spark plug, from my Yakking days (the plugs had a habit of blowing the insulator out of the metal base; rumour has it this was a 'safety valve' to prevent hyraulicing, but I reckon it was just dodgy Russian plugs. Never happened to me but we all carried a spare just in case).

I wonder if anyone would know what it is if I exhibit it?

I could display all the khrap people leave in our aircraft. Mostly snotty tissues but I have found everything from half sucked sweets to a tenner.
