If they weren't loose, they wouldn't rattle... *chuckle* TouchοΏ½ :) My father told me of an incident when he was in a Bristol Freighter when an American pilot (army or air force - I'm not sure) was having a familiarisation flight in the freighter. When coming in to land the US pilot was going through his checklist and called to the kiwi co-pilot "Wheels down and locked for landing?" The kiwi co's response: "Wheels down and f*cken WELDED I hope!" PapaBear
