John Noakes visited the FAAM with Blue Peter when Culley's Camel was in residence.
Noakes was intrigued by Haraka Senior's explanation of getting in by straddling the rear fuselage, hand walking up the top decking ,then swinging one's legs in to the cockpit and then plopping down in to the seat.
Noakes decided to give it a go with the cameras running..
All went well UNTIL.he encountered the hook behind the cockpit which was used to help suspend the Camel from the ceiling in the IWM.
and which proceeded to rip the backside out of his trousers......
