You are absolutely right, Old Dog, the best way to get rid of rusting DCs was to drop them "Open Range" well out to sea. What an impressive sight. I am probably the last RAF pilot to have dropped a stick of DCs, but I cheated. It was in '73, over the Coral Sea, in loose formation with another Neptune, and I was on exchange with "Ronny RAAF." As the SP2H bomb bay was a lot smaller than the Shack, the stick was only five, but still enough to make the "sundodgers" eyes water. Happy days!
