Thats an old 'un ... the skipper was obviously hungry .. I hope they still had his chips warm when he got aboard

I wonder how many times they practice that?
Anything that looks that easy is (1) not easy and (2) takes time in planning and executing.
Where can I sign up for that RYA course?

Gerry, we can cover that for you, it would be part of a bespoke "own chinook tuition" course.

The Chinook fell to bits 6 months later from salt corrosion !!!!

Playing those sorts of games with those sorts of passengers I don't suppose the Chinook had a very long life-expectancy anyway!
