Hastings supply drop procedures
Can anyone out there help me. I am researching history of 48 Squadron supply dropping operations out of Kuching during Confrontation.
While I remember that we set power on the inboard engines to -6lbs of boost and set the drop speed of 105 knots using only the outboard engines I cannot remember what RPM setting we established during the approach and drop at the DZ. Immediately after the drop, in response to the Captain's polite request for "full power" I used to shove everything on my table as far forward as they would go but 2400 RPM rings a bell for the initial approach.
Can anyone help to jog an aged flight engineer's memory banks please........
