AA62 and Null,
Great shots of Changi, a place I only visited once, years after your time. We called in on the way home from a trip to Australia, to recharge the LOX pot. The ground kit provided was pretty standard to the fleet, and after getting the pressure raising coils going etc we managed to fill Albert up very nicely. After disconnecting from the LOX rig, the Flight Seargeant driver insisted that he would return the rig to its safe configuration. He did this and then drove off. About 100 yards from our aircraft there was a large explosion, and several pieces of LOX rig debris flew over our heads. Yep, the Flight Sergeant forgot to open the valve that relieved the pressure in the pressure raising coil. My Captain that day was nearby as it all happened, I know he follows this thread, and would no doubt corroborate the sequence of events. I would have loved to have been old enough to do a tour there though
