This may have been from one of the local boats that ferried people out before they deployed the landing crafts.Quote:

I'd say they travel with pilots, maintenance and even catering crew if any thing like the Coulson Mars (Martin) water bombers I saw on an episode of "Mighty Planes" and the co's website refers to staffing near the bottom. The Coulson Group of Companies – forestry, aviation and lumber manufacturingQuote:

[QUOTE=Tombie;2964167]Bob, it’s was based on having to climb the hull on the rope ladder. Imagine the **** fight if a small kid fell.. or some old bugger..... damned if they do, damned if they don’t.
At the time, flying conditions were perfectly viable.[/QUOTE
]I find it hard to believe they would use a rope ladder when they have a perfectly good well deck, they could simply drive in and walk off. But, of course, if the ladder was the only means to board, it would make sense. However, there was another option. When the Brits had Choules [ it was an RFA, Largs Bay I believe] there is video of a group of reporters visiting the ship, being hoisted by a boat davit, and stepping on board thru a door on the side. Nothing I have read or heard justifies leaving young children overnight in that situation. If the aircraft couldn't fly, ingress through the well deck sounds to me to be a perfect solution. But, I have put out some feelers, and if a perfectly good explanation comes forth [ such as yours ] I will post it. EDIT just thought, are we talking Choules or Sycamore? If Sycamore I take it all back.But it was reported as Choules.
This shows Choules well deck operation.

If CFS have only one type then one qualification would apply over the whole Service.
Yep, was well discussed and most were quite restrained it’s just not the right place for it is all. [emoji4]Quote:

Never any arguments, just get in and get the job done.Quote:

I looked back to see where I may have been in conflict, but couldn't see anything, nor many others as you said. :angel:
Sgd. Puzzled in OZ.
Des, discussion of the fires in GC is totally acceptable. Moderation only occurred when the thread turned political.Quote:

why is it media hype to ask why children under 5 could not be taken?Quote:
