200b. G-ALAL 3 Lockheed L.749A Constellation Ace Freighters LPL 02JUL66
Replaced an earlier scanned slide with a better version 21-Jan-15, plus Topaz DeNoise AI 19-Jul-23.
The idea here was to sling a rope over the tail with 6 loaders hanging on to it and use a rope on the nosewheel leg tied to a tractor to put it back upright... Until the flight engineer suggested that if it tipped too quickly the nosewheel leg could be pushed up through the flight deck floor!!! So on to 'Plan B'... (see next photo)
