Here’s Merlin helping us unload empty containers ex Riyadh from the train in Dammam, circa 1980. Why he was helping us when he worked for Trans Arabia, I can’t remember - maybe just for the fun of riding the hooks!John
If the trailer hadn’t got twist-locks, old Merlin was probably up there to drop the ropes (or even straps) across the container 
! Who knows? It was probably easier than throwing ropes or straps across the container against the prevailing wind. On the other hand, if you read Merlin’s posts, it could have been for fun!
