When I've learned how to do it I'll try posting a few photos from 1960/61 when on occasion I drove a Shell Tweed (refuelling DC3s), and operated Shell hydrant fuellers at Accra (C130s on the Congo airlift) and Lungi (MEA Comet). Then there is fuelling a Dragon Rapide of Sierra Leone Airways at Bo, but the photo I never took and I've kicked myself ever since is fuelling a Dragon Rapide at Kenema, hand pump from a 44 gal drum, through a very large funnel with a super size chamois leather as suspended water filter.
