Where to start?????

Wessex from Palace Barracks to the top of the Divis Flats. USL was a mixture of sandbags (empty), wriggly tin and nefarious !!!! that didn't weigh much. You can see where this is going, can't you? The load wouldn't go faster than 20-30kts...we all felt terribly exposed, esp with people waving guns at us as we get to the top of the flats...load wobbling all over the place. Dropped in on the top, a paralleled the building sides on the way out. Lesson, if it doesn't fly right don't persist with it.
