Can concur with Chinooker.........
Many, many, many hundreds of engineering manhours lost just waiting for aircraft to be towed to base . One time we investigated, the slowness was due to "shortage of towing crews ".............a quick look in their crewroom revealed plenty of 'em !
Of course, in the dim and distant past , we were allowed to go get the aircraft ourselves with an Engineering tug crew .....or even more bizarely we used to Taxi the aircraft back to the Hangar ( this is LGW , mind )...
Don't do this anymore .....it upsets the tuggies......
