I remember an early 'airborne' broadcast where the reporter/cameraman was, IIRC, called Noble. He carried a huge backpack, it looked about 18x24x10, and he jumped from a Beverley on a mass parachute assault on Salisbury Plain. He was right there when the paras took out a pill box with a bazooka.
edited to add:
Bigal, thanks for that. I should have said that this was a live broadcast after a para jump. It says something for the ruggedness of the kit that it worked after the jump.
