Jack,
thanks for putting up the video. It was a real memory lane for me. I wonder if there is a video of a full op drop with door bundles and wedge.
Wonder why they opened the cargo door as I did not see any wedge kit. Yes pulling the bags in was a struggle. We did have retrieval winches but if the bags snagged the winches could be pulled off their mountings. Pulling the bags in on the Hastings could be a struggle too. We dropped with the inboards throttled back and as soon as the 'troops gone' call was made they were powered back up again just as we were trying to recover the bags !
Happy days.
