As promised and after much ribbing over the photo of the engine turbine photo I took these 2 photos of an in situ engine .....



and just to prove I was there ....



The lads took more photos of me getting ready and afterwards... Thanks to my someone who shall remain nameless halfway down when I went to turn the camera on I found the batteries had been removed from the camera so had to go back and get them

Lower periscope mount to go with the previous photos ...



Someone asked for the radios ...





A few of the aerials....

Exercise parental rights........... withdraw the use of your electricity to him at home. (That usually steadies them up for an hour or two).

Thanks for the piccies of the radio gear Rick
Which radios are what ? i.e. HF/VHF/UHF
Which of the antennae do what ? I don't see an antenna their which looks large enough for HF use.

[Saracenman]

isn't the HF antenna the one at the base of the tail? not sure if it's still used though

Ok the HF radios have been removed. The HF aerial tuning unit and aerial where at the base of the dorsal fin.

The radios are UHF / VHF using these aerials

The real entertainment was being stood at the bottom of the ladder, listening to Rick trying to negotiate the thermocouples without damaging them/ himself. With the rest of the crew giggling and hitting them self, cos everyone except Rick knew he had no batteries in the camera.

I bet the language was choice

I bet the language was choice

I'd love to have heard the language resonating down the jet pie to the assembled throng who by now must have been wetting themselves........................

You couldn't imagine a more humorous scene if you tried............

[Dan4th]

the jet pie to the assembled throng

Didn't know Mackrick got a PIE in the face, too!

I assume you are on about tyre wear ? If so will do that tomorrow.

I think XP was meaning the bits sitting on the ground
