St Athan, partially destroyed a wing change Airlog trolley while driving over the arrester cable and the convoy was arrested by the cable until parts of the trolley broke apart and we were once again moving at speed, took a few hours to ensure the runway was clear before they could fly again, nearly lost my towing licence after one sided chat with SATCO.
St Athan again, towing a Houchin out of the hangar when one of the doors started closing and ripped door off tractor as I sped through the gap, door initially caught my arm then fell off onto the hangar floor, still moving at speed the Houchin got a bit scraped up but was still usable, OC MT & OC GEF were more bothered about the damage to equipment and vehicle than me. The investigation proved my innocence as the door rail was sinking towards the middle so the door on one side had a tendency to slowly close if it was not opened enough, we had to chock it after that or fully open it, once they removed the armour plate off the inside it was ok.
RAF Honington one dark, wet and windy night towing an aircraft from HAS site back to hangar, by the engine running hush house bend there was a negative camber so when I went around the corner going a very small amount faster than usual the tractor jack knifed and started to slide off the taxiway, managed to get it sorted just before the pitot probe was about to come through the back window, that was a lesson learnt well after that fright.
