Global Aviation Magazine : 60 Years of the Hercules
There were a few mnemonics for problem solving, I vaguely remember BANGGEARO for the Touchdown Switch. From memory it was:
Bus Not Tied
Anti-skid
Nacelle pre-heat
GTC Door
Gear Latch
Engine Anti-icing? (Eclectic Emu? - can't really recall)
ADS 'Doll's Eyes' (Hazy on this one as well but seem to recall that zebras don't fly)
Radome Summat? (Just starting to make it up now)
Omega TAS Input (was actually my department)
To be fair it was fifteen years ago, I was mostly working in the map room and I've had a few careers since then...

MD .. pretty good .. close enough to help out any baby eng having problems ....
now .. can you also do ..
EAT-A-PRUNE
and
FAAJIVEE
you will have also heard them a thousand times in the sim ....

Gentlemen,
Absolutely loving the thread and in a vain effort to stir the old brain cells after a few Saturday night sherbets, please allow me a stab at the mnemonics:
EATAP(R)UNE was the services/systems provided by bleed air and I would love to be corrected on the ones that I got wrong but here goes:
Eng Start
Anti Ice - Wings
T
ATM?
Pressurisation
(Radar Nose Bay Heating - though not in the later years)
Urinal Drains
Nacelle Pre-Heat
Empennage Anti Ice
Really wracking my brains for the 'T'!
FAAJIVEE was the systems directly connected to the BATT Bus:
Fire Extinguishing
AC External Power
Alarm Bells
Jump Lights
ISOL DC On BATT light
DC Voltmeter
Emergency Depressurisation
Emergency Lights
BANGGEARS/BANGGEARO eventually ended up as something like
BANGGREASED which I think went something like:
BATT BUS Tie Switch
Anti skid
Nacelle Pre heat
Gear manual release solenoid
GTC Door
Ramp and door control inhibited at the front.
Engines allowed into Ground idle limits?
ADS / ULLA release
SCNS TAS input?
Engine Condition Levers.
DIRCM
And keeping in the spirit of the theme, here's a couple more
GHOST - what comes off the engine accessory gearbox?
POSHBEEF/CODBEEF - when you pull a T-handle.
I can remember the mnemonic but I'm bugg£red if I can remember what they stood for.

Welcome to the Thread SVK 
Grab yourself a standard NATO coffee and join in
If you have any pics you'd like to share ... drop me a PM and I'll gladly help ... Billy is going great guns now he's got the hang of it

finding these pics bit by bit
SVK .. very close ... generally EATAPRUNE was
E - Engine Anti-Icing
A - ATM
T - Tail & Wing Anti-icing
A - Air Conditioning
P - Pressurisation
R - Radome Anti-Icing (later removed)
U - Urinal drains
N - Nacelle Preheat
E - Engine Start
GHOST - Gearbox Accessories
G - Generator (AC)
H - Hydraulic Pump
O - Oil Pump & Filter
S - Starter Motor
T - TachoGenerator (2 pads)
Might be a bit rusty on these .. POSHBEEF - Engine T - Handle functions ..
P - Propellor Feathered
O - Oil shutoff
S - Starter inhibited
H - Hydraulics shutoff
B - Bleedair shutoff
E - Extinguisher Valves positioned
E - Extinguisher armed
F - Fuel shutoff
CODBEEF - GTC T Handle
C - Conditioning off (or was it Control Circuits isolated ) ??
O - Oil shutoff
D - Door inhibited
B - Bleedair shutoff
E - Extinguisher valves positioned
E - Extinguisher armed
F - Fuel shutoff
I think ........

The handwritten caption says all but not quite all.
We were on our way to Akrotiri in a 'K' on the infamous 'red eye' special when we were told to divert to Cairo ! Not enough go juice we said so they told us to land at Larnaca and phone Akro ops. So we did. Turned out that Akrotiri's runway had been 'blacked' by one of the returning a/c pictured above. A very stiff crosswind has seen him run out of directional control and the a/c was damaged.
So we waited at Larnaca for several hours whilst they cleared the runway and we were given the nod to fly to Akrotiri.

AH
I thought the same 992. Also recognise the wonky eyed PJI running up the rear. Must have been AH last Az Det.
We often used to share an aircraft between AD out of Laguna and para at El Centro (Hotville DZ) or even up at CL depending upon various factors.
Talk of Hotville, I did not care much for many of the PJIs but I had a lot of respect for Papa Smurf every time he got the chance to go to Hotville he arranged a Service of Remembrance for a group of his colleagues killed in a para acc some years ago. I think the young SR took on this mantle when PS retired.
I have some similar pics from the wet film era somewhere. I will need to check if the GEs had been properly trained by Smuge to get the props lined up. Clearly another example of standards being eroded in time! Cameras were frowned upon after 9/11.

AA62 (I remember you being Loadie Leader on Dirty Firty - though I don't think we ever flew together).
Do you have any detail shots of the area post 245?
I am attempting to build a model of Albert but I am rather bereft of knowledge about the Op End!

Ex Ascoteer,
in previous posts there are a few pics of the a/c aft of FS245. I will hunt around to see if I can find any more. I am sure some of our loyal readers have some somewhere. This is a close up of a few of the seats and the eventual 'home' of the pax LSJs.
Yes I was the ALM Leader on 30 for a record breaking eight years !
Which kit are you making you model from ?
