A340-500/600 towbars
Is there any difference between towbars for tthe 500/600 series and the earlier models?
The reason I ask is that the Manchester AIS pages show no bars being available - aircraft must use self manouvering stands.
Any response appreciated.

Scottie;
The "OMG, not a bloody 600" bar is different to the more mature busses - a dedicated towbar. Not certain but I think there may be a difference in the diameter of the towpin. You'd almost certainly be looking at different shear loadings.
