Hugh,

Thanks for the details on the Bo105 back seat: do you also recall the story of the extra pax in the back off the Capalonga, night, and the photo on finals?

I had a quick head check one night when about to lift with (supposedly) 9 pax for the Capalonga, and saw an extra 2 standing in the 'aisle'. How they got past the deck crew I've no idea

We were always so impressed that the Capalonga was 0.1 degree below our B212 pitch and roll limits when landing on her: I could cheerfully strangle whoever gave them our limits. I saw 20 degrees of roll while sitting on the deck once, and isn't there another story of a 105 sliding on the deck and having to get airborne with the cargo doors open?
