Just get yourself up there and do it....
 

Are snow clearing duties getting more onerous? Brize Norton seem to have thrown in a free bungee trial as a sweetener..... :rolleyes:

btw, anyone know what the small doors at the top of the fin are, is that where they store the broom?

Not the usual MRD rig ... but looks like fun !

Wonder how fast it can go in reverse?

I don't, but I can have a guess. I would probably want the tailplane locked before standing on it, so my thought is that they are access doors to lock or isolate the hydraulic actuators.

Or how about this for Front Line snow clearing operations :}

Ear Defenders for the turret crew ... I should coco !!!

(actually an experiment in the use of a jet engine for combat mine clearing :eek:)

Coff.

Stairs from bottom to top of fin then horizontal crawl space with 2 hatches on top that are unlocked and opened from inside.

Or so I was told.

A secret passage then.

From elsewhere ref C-5 tail:

"We also had a Loran coupler in the T-Tail of the C-5. There was a access hatch to the tail and ladder that we climbed up the inside of the tail to another hatch and access at the top of the tail. We put on a safety harness and actually climbed out on top of the tail to change the coupler. I climbed the tail several times but only helped change a coupler once and that was one time too many."

Or a fairy tale

No lone working then......:hmm:

ORAC ... must have been fun in-flight :E

As CoffmanStarter says:-

"H for Hancock Calling"

ORAC ... "Don't panic man this the RAF" ... Brilliant ! :D:D:D:D

MReyn24050 ... there I was thinking we've re-introduced Tail Gunners :ok:

When faced with the same problem, the USAF just went with a cherry picker instead (and yes, it did reach to the top of the tail).

Just do what I do with my car. Drive really fast and it all blows off. Simples.

So that's IF for the first 20 yards then Courtney :E
