I could see instantly what the problem was; The wings were loose, and kept turning. Clearly I went a little too aggressive in stopping the unwanted movement in this flawed design.
One day I might tell you about my first solo...
Or the time the FO nearly killed us...
If I wrote a book about actual events, it would end up in the fiction section, because nobody would believe some of the crap that goes on

Just had a thought about Concorde & what a pity it is that in 50+ years nobody has come close to replacing it for supersonic passenger flights.
How it is supposed to look.
L'incompetence.
Such a pity due to bad maintenance in Houston of the DC-10 that dropped a piece on the runway - along with Frenchmen leaving out parts entirely on the Concorde landing gear, seems such a pity to have stopped flights entirely. Although COVID probably would have killed it off anyway given the routes were becoming unsustainable financially.

Meum est propositum in taberna mori,
ut sint Guinness proxima morientis ori.
tunc cantabunt letius angelorum chori:
"Sit Deus propitius huic potatori."
