The fittings in the cab have taken many years of painstaking work, with fits
and refits to juggle the requirements of modern systems such as TPWS. It is
hoped these photographs give an impression of the work the team has done.

On reflection we found that we banged our heads on this AWS/TPWS fitting whilst checking the reverser position. It needed to go higher. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whilst this was an excellent position for the driver whilst sitting, it was too low to avoid some banged heads. |
