Fluctuations in the gravitational field
In our rush to help out a fallen comrade I see that all of us have forgotten to have him check the "best before" date of the Aireons that he used during the wing construction.
I know they don't spoil under normal circumstances but that has led many of us to use old stock without checking. Mike, please tell me you didn't use pre_Millenium Aireons in your wing. If so then I'm almost sure that they would be acting as if they were early 1903's Aireons.... And we ALL know that those ones didn't carry much weight.
