Travel chocks.....
Whoever found that they needed a bit more power than usual to get started off the ramp at Essendon, may like to claim their Travel-chocks back from our office :p

John, is that the original Cessna colour scheme and logo in the background? Looks like a C421? (Geared engines and "humps" on the top cowls.) |

Could be that the pilot couldn't fit said chocks in back of choc-a-bloc full aircraft, so they needed to flatten them out!

Must be helicopter chocks, they dont have a padlock. ;)

I am more interested in the ground on which they are sitting...is that what looks like the remains of an asphalt surface?....is it concrete?...is it as rough as it looks?

John,
That's why Qantas always use big wooden chocks, even a 744 won't flatten them. Towing a GPU out onto the taxiway is fun, too, that's when you find some rampdweller didn't understand "disconnect" and "clear". Tootle pip!! :} :} |
