Just saw something at DJ BNE last Thursday (Ugh, another party was paying - haven't been down that end of BNE Dom since my Golden Wing days!)
I was idly watching a DJ 737 pushing back and realised there was no front tug controlling it. Couldn't be using reverse thrust thought I, then noticed a 3 wheeled device attached to the rear of the port landing gear.
That would give the driver a good blow-wave I thought as he was right behind No.1 engine. When it unhitched I noticed that there was no driver and the device was obediently following the ground engineer back to the gate. Ah well, another ground staff job gone to technology.
How long have these been in service??:?:
