My most prevalent memory of GS was constantly having to refasten the Dzus fasteners on the Vulcan aerial cover. They were always popping out.
A Crew Chief would wander passed and "suggest" that the Dzus's fasteners that were hanging needed to be done up. Invariably this involved standing on the starboard undercarriage wheels, hanging on to the undercarriage itself with one hand whilst stretching out with the other hand grasping a funny "penny washer" Dzus tool and turn the fastener whilst pushing upwards.
What made this so much fun was as often as not, the donks were running, the chocks may have been removed and the Captain would be holding the aircraft on the brakes, occasionally easing the aircraft forward, whilst yours truly was standing on the tyres.
