The depth of what has subsequently been defined as "nostalgitis", was when the Qld AUF legislated that all engines are required to be fitted, or immediately retrofitted under an Qld generated AN, with drip lubricated external valve springs, and that additional points would be awarded if those springs were of the clothes peg type.

The lack of castor oil, as defined correctly by the singularoute, became a major problem, however when the Bjelke Peterson family donated 5 te of peanut oil, the Qld AUF ........

..... but, as usual CT went 2 or 3 steps too far.

It was fair enough that he widened the body to take the Pallisade dash, then he lengthened it to accept the Pallisade's tailshaft, but his biggest mistake was to enlarge the centre of the grill to take the Pallisade's radiator.

However, bull had a higher and more altruistic calling, because given the prang in Brazil, ATR (avref) were also very keen to get bull down to Blagnac to exclusively utilise his experience & skills with flat spins (avref), to lead their internal investigation and to ......

TWO IMPORTANT CLARIFICATIONS.

1 - It is incorrect, as has been suggested by a few of Turbo's enemies/opponents, in the serious aviation (avref) section of Wreck Flying (avref), that the above damage to his right hand was the results of his many months alone as a forward scout up the Khyber.

2 - In response to the numerous calls that have been fielded by Cappy from somewhat supercilious members of Wreck Flying, and from Moderator 12 ..... who is just super silly, demanding that the NES contain more avrefs (avref), Cappy wishes to make it clear that Turb's name is, amongst other things, also a shortening of the word "Turbulence" (avref), and therefore avrefs have been abundant for yonks.

Meanwhile Jabba had been out celebrating the bad publicity and needed an even bigger hut, and the burns on Turbo's hands, from when he grabbed Cappy's red hot barrel by mistake, had turned to calluses, which Turbs was quickly learning to enjoy, as it made his hand feel like somebody elses.
