Vulcan Pee Tube stories could fill a book:
Crew Chief, post-flight, 'someone spilt some orange squash, it's frozen on the door'
'It's not orange squash chief'
Pee Tube checks:.
Bottom bung -secure
Chrome funnel - secure
Pee Tube secured on bracket - check
Then don't kick it.
And he who filled it, empty it
It was then left empty on the nose wheel for sanitising
