Hi all,

The following email looks like it was intended to be sent to
the SHADO list, not me (as it was)

Thanks guys for shedding light on my 'set-revealled' question, another quandry, how does Skydiver
Jet re-dock with the main Sub? I believe there are a number of Skydiver versions, but given the
top secret nature of Skydiver and its very existence returning to port each time for this complex
procedure could compromise things a touch, also fuel may be an issue if the jet is unable to land or
re-dock. Does the jet have the ability to re-dock if the sub re-surfaces, or perhaps more amazing
beneath the sea via some form of retro rocket or capture system???

Can anyone shed light on this Shado for me??

I like to imagine that Sky 1 dives into the water and levels out about
50 metres below the surface, then the sub section comes up behind it and
clamps on, while both are still moving forward. Similar to a mid-air
refuelling exercise, in a way.

Sky 1 re-docking procedures.
There are really several thoughts on this. My belief is the following.
One that Sky 1 has to land on both water and land.
In one episode, Foster is flying Sky 1 back to base while another is heading
to Diver, hence the one Foster is flying would be going to a secure land
base, and the other would be meeting Diver at sea.
Landing on water, Sky would appear to be not balanced for the task. However,
if the stall speed was slow enough and a pitch up attitude, then it might be
able to slow down enough, to keep from tipping over. Landing in clam seas
would be a must and Diver could easily, with sonar and radar, have enough of
a secure area to re-dock or re-attach it self to Diver. The most probable
way would be to have Sky stationary and Diver approach fron the rear. Attach
cables or grapling bars to attach it-self to the rear of Sky and pull in
back into Diver. Re-Fueling would be fairly straight forward as the engines
in Sky appear to be liquid propellant. Hence able to burn or ignite under
water.

Just a few thought's.

Agreed. Liquid, and probably hypergolic to boot...

I think a simple "Rear Ending" proceedure !

Obviously actioned in a horizontal position.........................Of both Craft ? :)
