Many thanks for the full story about that RHAG engagement. I'm not sure if you were still down south when the RHAG provider's globe trotting "expert" pitched up at Phandet to show us some high speed footage he'd taken of some our subsequent engagements.....the amount of
upwards whip generated in the cable in some engagements cause a few "cor blimeys....."
amongst the assembled multitude..I think there were a couple of instances of it almost flicking the hook back up against the lower fuselage, which as you'd appreciate given the F-4 hook was no mean feat.......
Oh and by the way, despite what has been said, CM was NOT there at the time
Ah, that's old age for you (mine), for some reason I'd started to think of CM as sort of being "omnipresent".....my mistake....
