SAS, I remember AA62 putting some pictures up on the C130 thread of a UK platform trashing the commanders jeep parked at or near the DZ marker board.
I have heard a few rumours from my time in Airdrop that a few DZs in UK and overseas have been missed by airdropped stores. Never got reported or covered up because it may lead to too much paperwork.
Do they still run the Malfunction conference at Ft Lee? The reports from there were always funny. (Ha ha) Not much of a formal investigation but the assembly would take a vote on the probable cause.
i remember trying to construct the Safety Case for the dash 4a when we first had the J model. The number of inadvertent early releases was staggering. What they never recorded was the number of drops conducted each year. In reality the rate was small. Uk would undertake as many drops in a year as the US did in a day.
