Mr Fix it

On a recent flight to Gulu, Northern Uganda, Simon noticed an oil leak coming from the strut on the nose wheel.  After consulting the Chief Engineer on his opinion it was recommended that a piece of rubber tied tightly around the strut would suffice to get him back to base at Kajjansi.  Thankfully, when Simon asked around at the airstrip if there were any strips of rubber available there were.  Below you can see the black rubber strip just above the nose wheel.  Thankful for a practical husband and Chief Engineer that think outside the box.  The plan worked and the plane made it safely back to Kajjansi with no damage done.
