Bavnehøj drop zone
The parachutes open and slowly descend onto the drop zone where the reception team is waiting.
Intro
12 containers should have been airdropped, but the team did not see an aircraft. The pilot reported that the plane had circled the drop zone for 18 minutes, but nothing was dropped because of uncertainty over the target. The aircraft was probably at the wrong location.
