connie in sideways 1948

A little more info only Connies were put in that way the other a/c of the day ie Yorks, Lancastrians, Haltons, and Dakotas could be pulled in the Hangers tail first and worked on normally and jogging the old brain box only the engines on the Connies near opendoor had any chance of being changed due to the lack of overhead cranes [the roof couldn't support it]and the the old Cyclone was a heavy lump of metal ] and Coles cranes were used .as I said I don't remember any engines changes when they were fully in the hangar.
