I remember the RAAF having a look at the CASA aircraft in the early 90's at RAAF Richmond.
It stood at in front of the 1 AMTDU (
Air Movements Training and Development Unit: Royal Australian Air Force)
hangar for a few weeks completing load/air drop trials.
I asked one of the RAAF engineers what his thoughts were and (from memory) he said, "it's alright......a bit soft though....wouldn't last long in the bush and it's biggest problem?....an Aussie grunt in parachute rig cannot jump out of the para doors, there too small in both height and width! In essence it's a Hyundai when we need a Toyota".
