Aircraft are "mod'ded", kept up to date and in flying
condition by the approval of a 'Technical Change Committee'.
Submissions are made to the committee for changes giving
details of the 'change' requested, the effect on spares holding,
weight and balance and everyother thing that mankind can
think of. Your posting reminded me of one Technical Change
Proposal for the XXXX - it included a plaintive note from

will hold it!". Pop-rivets, holding, qty (lots) were approved.
