Another interesting feature was the control cables quick disconnect / re-connect performed by the F/E....lets just say there was no faffing around with turnbuckles and wire locking.
From memory the chap wasn't really an FE in the traditional sense. More a Flying Spanner Engineer type. We used to assist the opening and closing sequence, disconnecting/connecting, control cables, and various other bits and bobs. My job (as a junior) was to hold a stick with a chock on the end, following the drive wheel round as the nose was swung open.
