AA62,

I'm sure something hints at a US C130 for the lads going out on free fall, but the boots and DPM remind me very much of some SF stuff I have been involved with. It's not one I took, but its evocative of many happy times for me. I suspect that the tie down points might be a bit lightweight for an RAF Albert. I understood that the thread was a celebration if the 60th year of the Aircraft, not strictly RAF, hence the Canadian Flare post. Whatever the nationality, the aircraft is truly a stalwart of many Air Forces.
