100hr check on a Cresco on a hot day. My job as New Guy was the fuselage aft of the wing trailing edge, particularly the interior Barely enough room to crawl down the end in an ally fuse, in a tin shed, wearing overalls. One part of the jon I don't miss?

Replacing the windscreen heating contactor in the Andover was not much fun either. From memory it was easier to take the whole contactor assembly out and change the one contactor before putting it all back.

Checking the factories and frezers holds on foreign fishing vessels after are hard nights run ashore, especialy if stomach was delicate. If your wet weather gear was wet, by the time you had climbed down the ladder to the bottom of the hold it had started to freeze. When you finished the hold check your wet weather gear was frozen solid so made it difficult climbing back up the ladder. The factory deck stunk of fish and fish guts - not nice. It also depended on the nationality of the boats. Some were tidier than others. Finally the ocean is not always flat so if a sea was running that combination with the smell could be quite challenging.

Replacing a Flight Idle Baulk Actuator on a BAe 146 is the best one I have ever done. Hours and hours of suspense, fear, terror and disappointment followed by waves of satisfaction. Everything a good drama should have.
British dramas are generally of better quality. The Yanks tend to oversimplify everything.

One of the first jobs I did on night shift as a Elect/Mech in 1969 in Auckland. At the time I recall all the first line servicing was done from the old TEAL hangar. The job was to empty the toilet bucket from a Bristol Freighter the had just returned from Singapore. I was gagging and dry retching for an hour.
