Sorry for the delay in replies, I have been away in PNG for a while. Mountainous jungle, heat, wet season, escaped murderers and bank robbers, lost baggage, borrowed gear, exploding bussesl, 14500ft flights unpressurised and wthout oxygen and all...NEVER dull up there.
Thanks all, I will have an update next weekend which should be fairly significant.

PS, been watching A58-27..fantastic stuff. I hope to see her in the flesh some day!
So a pretty uneventful trip then...
Way I did it in QAM,s Spitty is right foot on seat,using mirror mount as grab point,slide left foot over.Then slide down right leg then left onto heel boards as you slide down seat.Getting out is reverse proceedure,not forgetting to unhook oxygen and Mike lead.If on fire do so "QUICKLY!!!"Sliding down the seat is obviously the go but I will have to strengthen some stategic points on the framework for holding whilst you do that. The plumbing covers will be more useful for pushing up to get out by getting your feet up onto the seat. It is more a problem when instructing others on getting in an out. I can get a hoist for you Old Timer visitors given enough notice

Aussie? Bl**dy Aussie!!??!! I'm a Geordie man, from North East England, although I now reside in the quaint County of Cheshire, having moved here in order to give the locals some culture and finesse....cough!]
Sorry about that, Terry.The way you were carrying on there, I could have sworn you were from the land down under. I think you Brits are great, too. My wife and daughter did a tour back when my daughter was in the Girl Scouts (she payed her own way with money she raised). I've been jealous for years, and have been promised a trip.
Darryl, that's really tops!
