Knowing some Latin American engineers (I've met two and both left me scared silly), the wings were probably being held on with gaffer tape and Wrigleys finest Sad

Alas aircraft maintenance here isn't much better. I've seen a few things flying here that even I wouldn't get in, as frankly I doubt they'd reach a safe height for the parachute to open before falling to pieces Shocked

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!
