Sweet Andy, glad I could help and great info on the pictures :)
 
Great selection of pics, Paul - thanks.
I Particularly liked the shots of the Airborne troops, and interesting to see a close shot of the different static line arrangements in the Dakota - the one here being the cable on the starboard side, at seat height, rather than the roof-mounted cable. I've always thought that must have been slightly awkward, as the parachute's static line strop would be dragging along at knee height.
 
Thanks guys,

Yeah Terry, I found the Sunderland interesting as I never realized they could carry there bombs on the inside of the plane and then slide them out onto the wing.
