Jackw106, thanks for the YouTube link. The bread and butter work of the Hercules Force very well displayed. I was never privileged to witness the work of the despatchers down the back, being otherwise engaged up front. The sheer hard work of recovering the static lines and bags is clear. 17 years after my time and they'd repainted the hulls, but the work seems much the same. The weight those guys had to go out carrying is truly impressive.
