And of course.... it had a tail stay that had to be put in position for loading/unloading, as without the passengers on board it had a tendancy to tip..... Wish I could find a photo, but alas not.
I remember a time in DAR when a SVC10 blew an engine just before landing.... The station engineer went out to the country and found a wood turner who made a stool type mahogany block - to stop the blades widmilling in flight, enabling the aircraft to 3 engine frerry back to London [via CAI, FCO] after flight planning it around Kilimanjaro.... oh the old days....
