Reg. One of its manifestations was the "D" hatch just aft of the bombay,which used to float 4 to 6 inches above its seating in flight due to the slipstream. Many a W/Op going aft to wind out the trailing aerial on the portside,jumped down,and in that miniscule travel thought his last moments had come !! Always snagged in the F700.but due to fuselage stretch in flight ,became a "to be remembered item". cos it always worked on the ground.
