Deci Tower - how many steps?

Oh the joy of the 176 steps to the Tower - why were the last 14 or so outside?

As the duty Flying Prevention Rep sat with my head in the clouds, I remember Podge (56) coming back single engine and "The Bear" almost dying as he fell into the Tower having run up the stairs. But not before he shouted out "remind him to think about which engine he has lost for when he does his shutdown checks".

Message duly passed but Podge lands, obviously pleased to be back at all, taxies in then goes into automatic mode and through force of habit shuts down the only serviceable engine leaving himself the 'Sound of Silence' and all his post landing checks to complete with no power.

But I suppose that was better than the sound of Dire Straits inyour ears and a heavy F3 landing

BTW what about saving that wall - excellent pics MOG

Fantastic pictures MOG, thank you very much!

I am sure that if you zoom in on the 17 Sqn creations my name will be there! I couldn't see any IX Sqn ones but I shall look more closely later.

It is sad to see the wall in that state...please, please will somebody bring it back.

MOG,

Just a thought...are the paintings still on the floor around the wall, towards the flight line? There was some superb artwork there.

This is the only picture I could find showing any of the floor. I can't see much there and I can't remember what was on the floor. I'll ask around and see if anyone else has any pictures or remembers paintings on the floor.
