Memories of training towers and going up them using Hook Ladders at Lambeth......

That's interesting. A large mix of PPE. Black wetlegs where your rear is exposed, Yellow wetlegs where they protect all your legs, but there's also the yellow ones with your rear exposed, which I've never seen before.

Fast forward to present day and there'd be microwave dishes for Africa dotted all along the top of the training tower!
