Windy. Had the fun of removing the tank from AP. Oh what fun British engineering can be.
To remove one thing you need to remove another, but to remove that another, and another etc,etc.

Perhaps I missed the trick. But to remove the tank, the rudder pedals and sticks had to come out, but to get them out the floor boards had to come out, same with fuel valve, seat panel, r/h cable pullies and throttle/mixture/carb cables and mounting. plus of course removing the panel to get at the rear nuts. The only thing they did think of was the little covers in the firewall to get at the front nuts and pull the rods out.

Anyway by the time all thats done the labour bill will be more than the planes worth...
