The Defence Dept in AUS is having trouble with RAAF veterans who
climbed into the internal tanks on the F-111 fleet. The chemicals in
the tank sealants combined with the lack of protective clothing seem to
have been the issue. The planes are still flying and I presume they
have a current solution to protect the mechanics, but the 'Pig' has
been in service for over 30 years now - that is a lot of sick mechanics!
