O-D,actually it was the Seletar Helicopter Night Approach Pattern...You require 5 Gurkhas,2 with red torches,3 with white,/ red torches just above ground level,ie Gurkhas lying down,3 white torches held on the other 3 standing up, in a line 10 ,or 15 yds in front of reds,pointing torches up the approach path..however,I`ll agree it did give you the S.H.I.T.S when used in a jungle clearing...Also designed by J.Dowling was the `Belvedere` trooping hoist,using sandbags.....can be imagined if you listen /google Hoffnung,and `Paddy and the barrel of bricks`...
