Phantoms, Phantooms!

Welcome spike7451 from one plumber to another.

For those who might query that epithet, the nickname 'plumber' was applied to armourers during WW2 with the introduction of some gun turret types using hydraulic power systems which were rare on the actual aircraft. Consequently,armourers were more involved with hydraulics than the airframe tradesmen who were still referred to as 'riggers'. I shall not comment on 'fairies'
