FLIGHT Round the Herald with a Camera (Continued) Petal cowlings allow unrestricted access for removal of the Alvis Leonides Major power- plant, although routine servicing requires only the side and lower panels to be opened.

All refuelling operations are performed from above the wing. ••as, • • "Flight" photograph GROUPED SERVICING^ The picture (left, above) of on inboard nacelle shows ad- justments being made to the fuel system. Overhead is the oil tank and undercarriage stoneguard, and to the right, the Puralator feathering-oil-filter. Access to the forward servicing panel (above), where most equipment is positioned at a convenient working height, is via the nosewheel-bay doors. High on the panel, but still within reach, is the transparent reservoir for brake fluid, and farther below is the electric and hydraulic steering mechanism. (Lett) Control run inspection is made easy when panels are removed from the floor and the hinged panels shown here are lowered from the root. The high floor of the pilot's cockpit provides excellent access for servicing under-floor equipment.
