In my previous incarnation as a Gen Tech GSE, I was part of the hooking team on Mount Alice. As part of the monthly resupply, the Mount Pleasant team were down the bottom of the hill in Albemarle Harbour hooking up the ISOs from the MV ST Brandon and we were at the top of the hill unhooking the ISO.
The last lift of the day was to be our newly refurbished site Generator. We were surprised to see the Chinook come over the horizon minus the big shiny Generator ISO. Apparently someone messed up the ECLS settings and our genny was now sat at in 20ft of water at the bottom of the harbour were it had been jettisoned.
If you want to read the report look up asor\MOUNT PLEASANT\78 SQN\Chinook\96\83679 on ASIMS
