Hi Phil
Nice catch, mate
How times have changed
Back in the day, it would always be a Herk
Like going from a Roller to a Dacia
Cheers

They jumped from an Andover at Leuchers once, got a slide of the fly by at the end of the jump. I seem to recall seeing them jump from a Chinook once as well. But at least they were military, and you always got a low level fly by from the jump platform at the end of the Falcons display.
