Good to hear from you AA62, hope things are well.
it was always the same during trials, so many people on board they all wanted a closer look.
in spite of a reminder during the brief they all made a run for it.
not sure if I sent you the film I had of a US loadmaster almost following the load out but saved himself by hanging onto the jack. It was a very early model with no paint and the big conspicuous USAF star. May see it on you tube.
the US loadmasters wore chutes so I believe.
I don’t think the UK version of the MIsshap (Mal Drop) video SAS put up has made it to the tube yet. Equally entertaining.
