It's not a clear path, you'll have to crawl over the first crossbeam with the commoning valve on it, then drop down between the pipework and the next engine beam somehow. Or perhaps it's past that engine beam as well... I only ever did that once on a BOAC Standard, I don't know if it's possible on the other subtypes. There's more about the various periscopes here by the way:

mustafagander are you sure you went through the trapdoor to check the hyd quantities? The reservoirs are in the rear fuselage.
