Thanks for that very comprehensive account....glad to see it ties in at least to some degree with my previous notes on the day and shows I've still got at least a few functioning bits of memory..

"it was also normal for the F-4s to stream their chutes just prior to touchdown too – presumably as a ‘belt and braces’ option"..

It was..and I got a right ********* from another squadron's QFI when I did the same out of habit just after I got back to the UK...


Oh, and also thanks (all) for the reminder about the various cables.......
