Sooties? We Fairies had to go down there to check the TAT probe was warming up. You either went in 30deg roll right or 30deg roll left. And it always seemed a blooming long way down to the compressor face, the probe being not far in front of it. Of course, you also hoped the ladder was still there when you'd reversed all the way back after the check which, in itself, only took 30 seconds or so. Transit time was quite a bit longer!!!
