fv1609 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) Do that mean I've FINALLY got it :banana: :banana: Yes, yes, yes, calm down. I was just delving around trying to find the final photo. The man in the photo was just filling it with air to show what it looked like when full. When the platform was released from the aircraft the bags were empty. They were meant to fill up from the downdraft of the drop. Oh yes & it just happens to be a Humber in 1955.
