ARRESTOR HOOK

  1. Detailed shot showing tail bumper assembly from behind as well as a good amount of the arrestor hook 'V' assembly. Also shows main gear door angles. I suspect the horizontal strip at the top of the picture is an addition made by the museum to stop the arrestor hook falling down under its own weight.
  2. Rear fuselage; arrestor hook in stowed position.
