I found this in my garage this evening
Any good to you Dougie or KSim or do you already have one.
It was left over from a fault report (760) investigation following a handful of failures. Metric cable with English size ferules 6mm is not quite a 1/4"
note the application of black gaffer tape. Universal for all things airdrop.
Sorry I don't have a George Rogers satchel for it.
I always made do with a bit of 303 cord for a washing line on detachments.
CADS suspension bridles made better tow ropes. unpick the stitching and make 4 (3 for your rigger mates) the snap hooks on the end fit nicely over the loops on most modern cars.
Now then guys; can we call an amnesty and have you all return the heavy canvas parachute recovery bags to stores
Snatch was before my time but XV275 may have info from his Beverley days. I believe the concept was first used in reverse for pulling ULLA loads out rather than picking stuff up.
