Haha that brings back memories. I did the last two years of my apprenticeship with Qantas, mostly in heavy maintenance in Sydney. You wouldn't believe the mountains of grey dust above the ceiling panels - especially up the back. It was disgusting!

Not to mention the old coffee under the galleys! The life of an apprentice!

Haha yeah, I once spent a few hours replacing the warmer plates in a 747 galley. The channels for the wiring were chock full of burnt coffee residue. It put me off coffee for weeks, it stank that much.

Hi guys, this is my first attempt at posting an image, so lets hope it works.

 

I saw this thread and thought I might as well show this pic of when I was in Haneda and got a friend to show me around the hangars.
