Avionix/Stuart, if the DC3/Skytrain is causing problems, why not use the C130's?, After all we used the Vulcan on Operation Chastise. Para exit rate is also higher, so instead of dropping them over a distance, they will land closer together.
I'll try work out today how far we can get. Are you OK with as close to the original routing as we can muster?
I reckon with a nice leisurely cruise we could probably do the route to Arnhem in a little more relaxed manner and do it over the two halves rather than trying to get there and back?
