Thanks for the replies guys, it's given me something to go on. Having a towbarless unit would be heaven or even an A330 bar but we are pretty remote outfit. The only other towbar I have found is a B757.

What is the towing point on the A340 like? Does the towbar use pins coming out horizontally into the towing lugs or is it a 'bar' that is grabbed by the tow bar head?

Again thanks for any reply

**Just been asked the same question for handling a B777 - any answers greatly appreciated******
