Just about covers the options. Also pays to look in the luggage compartment - sometimes the tow bar is attached to the rear bulkhead.
In the Instructor's forum recently an instructor said that he would severely chastise anyone he saw pushing or pulling an aeroplane by the prop. "Never, never", he said.
Couldn't understand it myself as the prop is the bit that puills the aircraft along anyway innit?
