Apologies for the short intermission before my long one. The computer had a huge wobbly and it has taken three days to sort it out. After aimlessly poking about in the innards I decided to use some of my long dormant tech training, a bit of logic and get out the test meter. To cut a frustrating story short, the PSU was the culprit.
A used spare is now doing duty but I may have to invest in a new computer as this one is seven years old. Anyway back to Op Vigour.
The pic above shows a typical load and no prizes for spotting where the aid came from. You can also see the improved version of the G/E hammock folded just forward of the port para door. Not that they ever got to use it in theatre. You can also see the blue poly bag inside the Elsan, as previously mentioned.
The chaps on top of the load are two of the RAF police security team, all of whom were excellent and really got involved in helping .
