ARINC, at the risk of thread creep and diversion from the memory of those who died serving their country,

1. Where is the one shot battery exactly ? At the base of the fin, or post mod, the LH SPS bay
2. Why is it fitted ? Unlike the F3 with its RAT, the OSB is the GR1 emergency power system
3. Where is the Nitrogen bottle fitted ? See 1
4. How long does it take to do this job ? Can't remember
5. Have you ever worked on a Tornado ? Yes, F3 and GR1, 4 yrs in the mid nineties
6. Are you a teenage oik ? No

While the fin inert system on both aircraft was a b*gger, would you fly with the OSB removed? The location of the battery was moved - maybe we are talking either side of the Mod?
