The Mother of Invention

Seems to me that guys who do that shouldn't be allowed to have lighters or matches on them, huh? Dan 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!
