So, some testing is being done, someone has logged a problem, something they trying to do isn't working.
A quick look, and I see that it isn't meant to work, by design, a stupid design maybe, but it was decided early on in the project in 2010 that it should be this way by people far more important then me and her,
So I explain this, knowing I have told her this before, and after sending the email decide to search back through my emails.
I have explained the same thing to her once a year since 2010 now.
Have a guess at her job title, I'll give you a clue P______ M______.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I used to work with an International Sale Manager who reported the same thing as a bug five or six times a year. Every year.
That was exactly how it was supposed to work, designed by the MD, it's all in the user manual, take it up with him...
Mind you, he was the same guy that complained we didn't fit long enough mains leads. His was about a foot long and way too short. Strange - we fitted 2m as standard.
Turns out whenever he went to a new country, he'd cut off the old plug with scissors, throw it away and fit a new one... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

When this happens to me, I just re-send the old e-mail, usually does the trick.

Are you saying that David Cameron is a she?

Or maybe he was talking about Thatcher. No wait - that cannot be - she he had big brass ones!

Chris made it sound like this was a current event. Hadn't thought about her, he... whatever.

She is the last airworthy Vulcan, but sadly her flying days end this year.
I have been able to see her both static and flying and the Vulcan is the bog's dollocks of all Cold War aircraft. No-one, with the exception of the garrison at Port Stanley in May 1982, has witnessed her majesty and not found it a life-lifting experience.
If you get the chance this summer, go and see her. Here[^] is her current schedule; it will be regularly updated.

I will be going to the Clacton air show again this year, most definitely on Vulcan day, if XH558 is appearing there (not on the schedule yet when I looked at the weekend).

Also If you haven't read Vulcan 607 makes you think. I have seen her twice in the air also I have seen most but not all Vulcans that are preserved, while the Victor was the most Sci-Fi looking the Vulcan did the job the best!

I was never enamoured by the bloody tankers! 
I have read Vulcan 607 and it was a truly remarkable achievement. One thing that stands out for me is the "Aaah..." moment when the first wave of Vics return to Wideawake and they realise that they've slightly, marginally underestimated the fuel needed by a tad...

Yeah, well that's what you get by using a calculator from a market stall!

It makes you realise how much traffic the RAF had down there when you think that Wideawake, with her single runway, was the busiest airport in the world during May 1982. The only limiting factor was not the speed at which they could taxi the planes on and off, but the rate they could pump the av-gas ashore from the tankers in the harbour.

They have a Victor at the Yorkshire Air Museum, its a non flyer but it does do thunder runs up and down the runway - and its a bit loud - not sure about the pink colour scheme though

I think, I am not sure that is the one that 'hopped' accidently started to take off a couple of years ago!

not sure that something the size of victor could take off accidentally
It actually sounds like a variation of the famous boxkite incident at Old Warden where that actually happened

Mmm...must admit I did think 'really?' if it did what sort of <<redacted>> are allowed at the controls??

And if you can't make it to the UK in the summer you can take a look here[^]
