... any way he has a coupe to bl**dy finish so he isn't going anywhere
I did have a more direct escape 5 or 6 years later. Back in Australia and working for CIG (BOC), I was investigating a complaint from a customer who had reported that his new liquid nitrogen freezing tunnel was using too much LN2 to freeze scallops. This was a machine with an enclosed chamber 12' long and 2' wide. It consisted of heavily insulated stainless steel panels, with a drop-down access hatch on both side. A mesh conveyor belt passed through it carrying the scallops under a spray of LN2 to instantly freeze them. On my arrival it was immediately apparent what the problem was; they were running it too cold. LN2 was running to waste out the end and onto the floor. In order to check that the problem wasn't due to a mechanical malfunction, I had them turn it off and we opened the side hatches and let the fog clear. I stuck my head inside to look towards the end with the spray header. I'd done this many times before. Everything looked okay and I was standing a few metres away with our maintenance fitter discussing the problem when there was a loud bang, the lower panel suddenly inflated like a balloon, and the conveyor assembly was rammed up against the top panel crushing the circulating fans. That's where my head had been a few minutes earlier. This was my first experience of a phenomenon known as cryo-pumping, which until then I had only known in theory.
PS. Malaysian Airlines (or MAS as it was) is one of the good airlines.
Doesn't anyone know the answer to why Rover painted the inlet manifolds on the P5B and not the early Range Rovers?
