I was posted to be co-located
and he was on phantoms that Conningsby,
but I moved on to the Vulcan at Scampton.
So a very interesting job
the Vulcan was carrying
so it had a dedicated wiring and systems
You don't want it being dropped too early
or on the ground, for that matter.
So it had this very specialist wiring
to go in there and inspect the wiring face
but one of the ministers at the time
and insisted that on our nuclear bombers.
It had to be an officer
So I had to spend a month doing learning
which was quite good
the technician hands on job and then spent
around the aeroplane, inspecting the wiring
So I've got pictures of me
a flashlight
and making sure that it's still
one bit of
the wiring on one bit of the system
and you had to go up on a cherry picker,
so there's only so high
So I couldn't reach into this access
hatch and everyone looked around
So I was up there with a chief
and somebody suggested
So at that point, the chief said, Well,
You are not to touch ma'am,
So every time I had to do that inspection,
well, I was a bit lighter in those days.
He had the interesting job
officer up into this hatch
So there are funny things that happen
to get short
