I had an associate, good oppo and fellow SNCO flung out the back of an F3 into the north sea (whilst on a "transit" flight to assist with the recovery aspects of another deployed F3) so "risk" is always there.
Sincerest condolences to all affected by this tragedy.
O/T F3 report.
Worth a read on how fragile the system is and how easily it falls apart.Mods feel free to bin as reqd.
