Changing the Gee-H Tx in a B2 Canberra. 1st remove your legs as they are in the way!

Any job inside a Canberra where it is 'ot & sandy.

Freezing at Lindholme at 02:00 while changing an aerial on the wing tip of a Varsity. Couldn't do the job with gloves on, without the gloves fingers were numb and I kept dropping the screws and climbed up and down the 6' flat top steps and searched with a torch in the grass for the damned screws.

A soldering job on a junction panel near the Orange Putter Tx/Rx right up the thin end of a Valiant, on the inside!

Changing a Green Satin blower motor on a Valiant. Not a problem except it was on Gan, and we didn't have the socket to reach the nuts in the terminal block, did the job with long nosed pliers that kept slipping.

Some more will probably enter my remaining grey cell.

But I'd love to do it all again!
