Lol I did notice how nice those look isn't engineering good looking when its done well.

Anyway just a thought that's all.

Hi not been on here for a while but have been following , my question firstly is , the indentations that have been put into the air trunk for the air start bottles do these indentations impede directly into the path of the incoming airflow or is the trunk made up of a double skin .
