The proximity of the Stbd exhaust to the refuelling point made rotors running refuels interesting, hot and noisy!
If there was a Night Sun dangling off the side too it got even more 'interesting'.

Still, it kept us Tiswas lads warm on cold nights. Every cloud and all that....

By the way, does anyone know why the PSP at G40 was fitted the wrong way up (plank connecting hooks uppermost)? It could be a bugger trying to find the earthing lead in the dark after it had been pulled out of your hand by a random hook, with the loadie tapping their foot waiting.

Oh and whoever mentioned the 'honey pot' tanks earlier, thanks for bringing back a very bad memory I was trying to forget. I won't divulge full details now as some of you chaps may have only just finished lunch but it involves Puma downwash, a certain hollow at G40 and an insecure lid........
