Helen49, I think that was the fate of more than one gooseneck trailer. At Niue it was the firemen laying the goosenecks and when the trailer caught alight they raced back to the firestation where all the fire fighting equipment was. Kerosene burns well with a draft and as you can imagine there was nothing left of the trailer when they got to the firestation.
I dont think I ever heard what happened to the expected aircraft for whom the goosenecks were being laid.
