Keep clear - it appears that there is another meaning at Kingsford Smith Aiport

Wide streets disguise a culture of bad drivers, but no worse than our local ones in terms of forgetting to use indicators and cutting people off.

Are they missiles on the ground there at the airport?

They look like missiles.... Your use of B&w for this photos is interesting.

very nice Cameron - ground support equipment its another world
those btw, are the attachments for the nosewheel of the aircraft to the tug, whilst somewhat generic, there are quite a few types for the different aircraft

I'm still not seeing missiles, I had B&W film loaded so there wasn't much choice.

torque they have alot of, but with the low gearing....its end of story. Interestingly enough, the older tugs had the wheel arches and alot of the body over the back wheels made from solid steel and lead just to get the weight up.

I guess that would have to be true, low gearing for the PULL.
