If I remember right. These were on a 10 day detachment. One of the groundcrew brought his 10 year old [approx] son on the detachment with him, and no one from the Danish side batted an eyelid. Would never have got away with it in the RAF.
If it cant be fixed with a hammer, then its an electrical problem.
