Loading Torpedoes in AI
I recall that night when we were loading up. We had 2 aircraft (all the slots that MRs were allowed on Wideawake), and had just helped the armourers to put SAR stuff in one of the planes, shortly after which the majority of them went off for a break, leaving only 2 qualified with us near the Nosey hangar.
So when the sh1t hit the fan, a bunch of us were pressed into service to offload the SAR we had just put in and help load torps (the one Sgt and J/T being slightly overstretched)... he told us after the crew arrived that he didn't know it was possible to get a load in the bay so quickly - esp with a load of fairy trades providing the "muscle".
I recall them being Stingrays, as we had taken delivery of a stack only that week.
