Ah, Ksim, I know the event in France you mention. would have been in my early days at JATE. I know the Maldrop party came back traumatised (I think it would have been Capt Pete G*****) where the MSPs dropped long into the hillside. They consider them selves lucky not to have been squashed. I think it was a night drop. They heard but did not see them coming.
I went down to CAP Toulouse and remember the French putting on a show from the Transal and 130 with lots of troop chutes used for heavy drop. Clusters of 20 or so chutes all tangled up. Us Brits clapped and cheered and went back to le chateau for more shampoo with blackcurrant juice and soft chees on small squares of bread.
AA62- That chevron shape is quite landmark and features in some of my own photos from a few years after your HSP.
