One of the OCU Tooms at Coningsby was always dropping its Ladder on Take off - ended up with a big patch of Speed Tape over the kick in doors and the bit where the ladder stowed to stop it happening - weak catch spring or something.
Always had to have at least a Front Ladder knocking about on see in - though Intake / Wing / Sgt Fletcher sliding was always popular.
I think there was a speed limitation if it was down ??
