Perrie,

If I look back at my pictures, the oreder of appearence was:
RAF C-130
US C-130
GAF C-160s
FAF C-160

They did fly their rounds all after eachother, so I would EXPECT (sorry, not sure) that the French was the last one to leave. Though in the 2nd jump (started after 12), the USAF one did an extra round.....

Thanks Oscar.
And do you know at what time the German Transalls departed home in the afternoon?

Thanks, Per

See my answer to your same question in the other topic: both departed around 1350LT. (not 1450LT as Sleegertje suggests).

That was 'Luftwaffe 102' 51+01 of LTG 62, landig one minute after the first German Transall and one minute before the French.
