LALO: Low Altitude Low Opening?

Hmm LANO/HANO: Low/High Altitude No Opening? Sounds a bit hazardous to me :P

Hehe...correct! LALO is actually the normal static-line jump. And LANO/HANO...well, let's just say it ain't too good for your health... :D

Maj Keeble was the temporary CO, it was Lt Col David Chaundler who parachuted in i think and took command.

Turning Pedantry into an art form...............

Chris Keeble was 2 i/c who took command as per s.o.p. when sunray went down. He remained acting CO until David did indeed jump into theatre.

Aye. :o
Just because I look stupid doesn't mean to say that I'm not.
