    Hi Lofty,
    Would it be possible for you to scan the Coy group photograph and repost it please. It looks similar to pictures i have of Ashwell camp where 2 Para reformed after Arnhem
    The 2 links as you describe them are Apex ties, the last thing that breaks when your static line is fully payed out. Some blokes saved them!
