Re #4300. I watched the vid though a link someone sent on Farcebook last night. Interesting to see so many, one after the other. In my time I tried to add a bit of science backed up with stats. I can't recall the exact numbers but MSP was not that bad in comparison with our friends over the water. What was missing was the total number of drops both sides of the pond to work out a failure rate. Certainly the trend with MSP was on the up towards the end. Probably through lack of opportunities for training. I guess if the skills are not used they are lost. I do recall a couple of freefall landrovers. One with live mortar rounds was quite spectacular (circa 1995).
Not sure if the JATE team still disappear to the quarterly malfunction conference at Ft Lee.
