(an airman in a landrover near the overshoot end who collects or recovers the brake chutes from aircraft who have streamed the brake chute. I used to hate the arrival of a Victor!)
Not surprised, as the Victor brake parachute was a hefty load to handle. As aircrew we had to change our own on occasion when landing away from base. This involved all five of us climbing up a giraffe and then shoving the thing into its hopper (our portly AEO was usually given the job of jumping up down on it to persuade it to go in!)
