blue_up,
We have two Warriors and a Cherokee at the club, neither of the Warriors have chains on them and I can't remember whether the Cherokee does or not. The 150 I used to fly had the chains but they just dangled in the tank, they weren't attached to anything!
Dave,
Sounds like the ATCO did well there!
Pace,
I remember reading something about the concrete tie down. Was it Newcastle?
Looking back I suspect you're right. I don't have experience of many fields but the pump at ours has a fob to activate it. If you mess around after scanning the fob the pump gets cut off and you have to fob again. Likewise, if you take too long to get to the other wing after filling the first the pump cuts off and you have to fill a second entry in on the log sheet as the pump resets when you scan the fob again. I was probably running as usual to get to the other wing and left the cap off. It's even worse when you fly a Cessna as you have to climb the thing as well!
But I still should have spotted it...
