Yes the Free take off was at Lankawi 69, sure would like to see the Pic. The one that was launched from the Vic nearly ended in disaster, as she shifted to port on take off. With her wheel ending up over the 4.5 gun turret. But she had enough lift to clear it The skipper said " we wont be doing that again "
