Wen and Shack,Albert was fitted with a low-speed basket,and used `tobogganing` if we were not able to maintain speed with another tanker or receiver.A selection of `wigs` could also be attached to the basket ,as an `incentive` to a prodder finding it difficult to `get it in`...!
Herc tankers are used regularly to refuel helos,probably around 130-150 kts...It was early days,but I`m sure it could have been sorted.....just neede a bit of `lateral `thinking...
