Thanks, my main memories of them were of MRD’s, take two engine, build a frame for them with a cab between them, attach it to a thousand gallon bowser then sit in the cab running them using the exhaust funnelled through some nozzles to de- ice the runways, alter the pitch to much and watch sheets of tarmac lift and disappear into the distance.
... with the SATCO instructions NOT to burn or damage the runway surface and NOT to scorch the embedded lighting. One of the best jobs in winter (if not safely tucked up in the TBar). Enough thread drift, lovely clear sharp images.Thanks, my main memories of them were of MRD’s, take two engine, build a frame for them with a cab between them, attach it to a thousand gallon bowser then sit in the cab running them using the exhaust funnelled through some nozzles to de- ice the runways, alter the pitch to much and watch sheets of tarmac lift and disappear into the distance.
