You are right. I paused at the interior shot and can definitely confirm an A330, because of the interior door cover. The black push button is the gust lock release.

Thanks. I've never been one.

Not too bad a bit of detective work for an old spook even if I say so myself.

When I was on a Joint Service assignment in NJ in the early 80s I shared an office for three years with an Army Artillery LTC. There was a big stink going on about what he thought were too high levels of chemicals in the drinking water on the western end of the base. Jerry was upset that he couldn't find any official standards for what was the maximum acceptable level.

I said let me have a go at it. In four hours I had worked my way up to getting the Director of the NJ EPA and an assistant director of the national EPA on the phone with me all while clearly identifying myself as a Navy LT.

Jerry sat there dumbfounded watching me. When I got off the phone he said, "Remind me never to get on your bad side. You are relentless." Within a week the issue was fixed.
