Secret Trial - are you sure it was not simply a case of the muppets putting an insecure load on the aircraft and the Loadie not checking it???, and it just fell off?.

ZH 875,

Wrong thread, me old. But highly likely.

'Lash this in where, loadie? Whoops!!'

Apparently, it is possible but its only a rumour. Surely the largest airlifter in our armoury is air drop capable, just like the yanks versions. Or am I been cynical?

Yardy, yardy.
