The specialist cleaning and inspection will be carried out by Totally Wild Access Ltd, experts in industrial rope access. Along with cleaning, the team will perform safety checks on the suspension cables securing the aircraft. Media representatives are invited to film and photograph the cleaning process, capturing behind-the-scenes footage of the team at work.
