just dug this up,taken in Holland 1976,familiarization with our Dakota pre the six jumps we did for the film.
all the lads in the photo were b.coy,i can name most of them.we got two cans of mckewens lager every time we jumped.
roll call left too right:don monro,barry grey,john(monkey)Haworth,me(marty broughton),Johnno Johnson,kevin bowker,curt lidell,chunky Conway,jim gladas,paul Simmonds,tony Bennett,tony(Genghis)McCann climbing up steps,peirre esnee touching aircraft,lt.mcgimpsey looking out.
lobbed us out at 95 knots,rock & rolled all over the place when we jumped,quite a few injuries overall,we thought the choice of d.z.was a bit iffy.
