I vividly remember getting out of the C130 door and thinking - clucking bell! This isn't the briefed 650' More like a 1000'+ And it was like bonfire night with all the Christmas lights thrown in and a ship the size of the QE2 chugging down one side of the canal and another coming the other way. German police cars with their blues n twos going yet still the blokes were piling out of the aircraft. The pièces de ré·sis·tance was then the MSPs started coming with them.
