Looked after several lears in my past as I worked at what was the U.K.’s largest Lear dealership, did 35, 35a 45 and 55’s

My mate was there when the troubles kicked off and it looked like Akrotiri would be abandoned, he worked in the avionics bay where they had equipment both rare and megga expensive like 100's of thousands, that took ages to set up... they were told to pack all the hi value on pallets for evacuation and other stuff like meggas, to destroy them with fire axes, this was done. They were told a Herc was coming for the high value and everything was prepped, the Herc arrived and they loaded what they could and awaited the next Herc, 15 mins later the Herc arrived and they loaded it all on, then noticed it was the same crew, asking where all the gear was the crewman pointed out to sea and said ohhh about 20 miles that way.. Needdless to say the place wasn't abandoned and they were left with feck all.

The normal Palouse was the Oblong four wheel trolley, used them on the VC10, someone decided it would be a good idea to use it on a gentle breeze setting to defrost a frozen toilet waste gate as the coupling was the same, it erm worked, it blew the contents of the toilet system and tank up through the bog coating the aft cabin of the said VC 10 with sh't? We had the rear cabin stripped out of all the trim and aIr freshener in it with the doors open for over a week and it still smelt of you know what.

I would be interested to see the cockpit built, you know the Buccaneer seats are offset so the rear seater has a view forward. These may help you https://s536.photobucket.com/user/taylortony/library?page=1
