I think it's D-AEAH ( hard to distinguish the reg but it's not 'AM due to livery )

To quote Samuel L Jackson " Say What? !" nope never did anything like that. :)

Aircraft wheelies are frowned upon-the loadmaster must have got a right rollicking for that one. :o

It is easy to get it wrong,and loads need to be carefully planned out-one of the worst loads was when we used to get bags of coins for the banks-3tonne of 1p and 2p`s isn`t easy to manoeuvre.

I remember Roger Bacon used to collect pictures of those events for his column in Flight.

Usually with a caption like 'we put the captain's wallet in the tail again'
