SayethWhaaaa Posted February 16, 2007 Posted February 16, 2007 I only came across this article the other day even though it happened a while ago and it blew me away, especially the photos! Did anyone see this or am I the only one to miss it?? : Here's the link: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml.../napache122.xml It's about some Ballsy poms going back on an ad hoc CSAR run to pick up their fallen comrade.

Think I owe a mate an appology for a bit of occasional ribbing... Quote

charlielima Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Splendid! The RMs where lauded as heros by thier supervisor instead of admonished to please the safety nazis. I sniveled for a boat team of SEALs for a C-1 Greyhound weapons load once. My chances for this are probably just as slight. :ph34r: CL Quote
