Many thanks, jimjim1, for the link. Missed the original and just watched on that link. Remarkably well done and G M, as usual, enthusiastic, gritty realism. Points against? - that awful, awful, dirgy-voiced commentator
Not much mentioned was that the '45 guys had no reserve 'chutes - tends to concentrate the mind well! We were similarly non-equipped when I did my jump from the WOTG balloon. NEVER again!
The glider crews possibly had it worse - bigger targets and fragile machines. Had the pleasure of working with an ex-glider pilot at Boscombe Down, Maj, later Col K M - a nicer, true gentleman would be difficukt to meet.
A generation apart!
