fire aerial dropping report.
 
If this works there should be a report on aerial drop effectiveness based on some testing recently done in australia.

As a matter of interest the Royal Commission heard evidence yesterday from air attack supervisor Mr Lawlor who described the effectiveness of drops from bombers on Feb 7th near Marysville as totally useless, because the retardent was blown away by the very strong winds, the instant it left the aircraft.

He also mentioned that a crash ELT on the bomber was activated due to turbulance:eek:
