In the early 90s, Northern Ireland at the height of the troubles. 1.5 tons of explosives in the net for transportation to a quarry in the 'greens'. FIRE 1 caption illuminated. It was only a hot gas leak, could have been a shocker.
What about the Portakabin incident...... Load transported to HLS, put down safely and the door opened, 4 blokes got out......
Similar to the landrover job above. My ex-AAC convert to RAF flight commander (sadly not with us anymore) agreed a 'rapid response' team with the RUC which involved a RIB boat being underslung out of Enniskillen, straight onto the Loch with the team on the boat!! AND he did it once before we managed to put him right!
"We are allowed to put ANYTHING in a net" said the Army HHI to the enquiry team. Loose Scaffolding Poles actually fit through the holes in the net young man
Made a modern art sculpture on the ground though.
