This pic is to illustrate and complement Dougie's description of the retrieval of the load bag on the trials. The manual rewind system is still being used here before the switch to power. And yes it did get VERY close to the ducksbill and cargo door on occasions. I did have some pics of the power system but they have gone walkies. Doug, can you confirm (or otherwise ?) that the power was via the Aux hyd system ? Or is my fickle memory confusing it with something else !
