Hi guys, I'll go one better than Ron, 15 out of 10. What a brilliant story and recovery. The images make it look easy but I bet there was a lot of blood, sweat and tears. I would have loved to have been on that recovery mission. WELL DONE!!

Bob

Thanks for the comments. There was quite a bit of prior planning which probably helped with the successful outcome.

Hopefully the carrier will be on the road again in a few years.

Well done Ian I bet you were sick of rolling up straps and cables by the end of the recovery

Fantastic! That recovery would have made a great little program on the Discovery channel
