Ok, whilst I can't compete with the quality of McC's stuff, here are three more..





Arrested landing was the norm. If you look hard enough you can see the hook is under tension and you look really hard you can just see the line of the rubber doughnuts that were strung along the cable when it was rigged. We always pulled the brake chute, (usually just before touchdown), even for a cable engagement.



Not the best image I'll admit..but just treat it as artistic and imagine the noise.

I do have some more stuff, both FI and non-FI somewhere, I'll see if I can dig it out and get it scanned...
