Drag,
The big question is are there videos of the drop in France when no-one told the crews it was a climbing dz and as the platforms departed, working as advertised, right up until the anti swing chute (not fully deployed) failed to fully retard the swing. It was ok though the French countryside did that. Much merriment at the campsite in Toulouse at the sight of many land rovers/trailers arriving on flat beds looking as flat as something from a cartoon. Happy days indeed.
