Been on several drops where ,for a variety of reasons, the paras 'avoided' the DZ.
On one of the Arnhem drops a good percentage landed in the car park and elsewhere other than the DZ. We had pointed out that the wind was marginal at best but the Army insisted that the 'show' went on. No serious injury amongst the paras as I recall.
