Recall my crews adventure to South Georgia, the usual full of all the folk who had helped the crew out as a thank you. Net up at ramp hinge, Despatcher at the edge of the armp with Harness packs ready as we did the dummy run to get a handle on the drop. Rotor off the glacier sent Albert into slight reverse, call from eng of "overtorque all 4" , I look at scenes of carnage in front of net, then pull 2 bemused AD chaps back in to the aircraft. They hadnt let go of HPs as no one had said "green on"!! Closed ramp and door then started tidying vomit, camera parts et all from the freight bay. We didnt complete the drop that day but did get specatcular views of the icebergs on the way home.
