Thanks for the rudder lock story, Baz. Thinking about the cockpit has brought up another loosely related topic. Can anyone here describe the procedure of moving from the nav cabin down to the nose position in-flight. Such as what kind of drills you had for emergency movement, what kind of time it took to shift positions, whether a portable oxygen bottle was needed or if you simply hooked into a regulator down in the nose cone. Any hassles or good anecdotes related to this movement would be good for the book. I have done it myself a couple of times, but that was of course on the ground, normal temperature and with no flying kit on, and I found it hard enough! Would love to hear tales from those that did it for real.
ATB,
Steve
