Quote "Best bit was the throw away comment on the Bolkow bomb bay where they put the stretcher now. Any ex 105 bomb aimers out there ?"
There is one actually. Rose Dugdale is her name and thankfully she was a crap bomb-aimer! She was one of two people to hijack an Irish Helicopters BO-105 in Donegal back in the early seventies and take it across the border on a bombing mission, targetting Strabane police station. The 'bombs' were made from milk churns filled with explosives. They were a little too big to fit out through the side doors and when they did manage to get them out, they missed the target. Maybe if they had used the 'bomb bay' down the back they might have been 'successful!?!' Ironically, another Irish Helicopters BO-105 went on a bombing mission in 1980 in the film 'North Sea Hijack', this time using the rear bomb bay. Don't know who the bombers were that day, though!
