Just had a look in my log book for Ascension-Stanley-Ascension. 13 Aug 82 - XV200 24hrs30min, drop and snatch, 19 Aug - XV200 25hrs50min, drop and snatch, 22 Aug - XV196 24hrs 45min, drop and snatch, 26 Aug - XV200 25hrs50min, drop and snatch. Only one snatch missed but successful at second attempt. After that we all seemed to have just 'dropped'. On the radios, a true story. The codes changed so rapidly and the experience level on the subject was low. Solved by getting an AEO to join the crew. Those were the days.
