Afghanistan footage

[Melchett01]

Having recently returned from the other sand pit, thought you might find this video footage interesting - the original link was posted on ARRSE. Oh and it works better with the sound turned up - there's nothing quite like the sound of a HMG in Dolby 5.1 to get OC Police worried about what is going on on his turf :E

It's footage of 3 Para operating out of the Sangin platoon house earlier this summer. And when you are watching this, thinking bloody hell I wouldn't have wanted to be a Para, spare a thought for the rotary crews - they had to fly into the middle of these fire fights. Now that's balls of steel for you :ok:

Thanks for your recognition of our balls of steel. Shame we don't make in the guild of whatever mentioned in an other post. Obviously did not achieve anything courageous in the uk so it does not count.........:ugh:
Quality video, brings back memories........nightmares.etc

I suspect we may have worked together at some point over the summer ..... I'll leave you guessing my nom de guerre, but I was round the JHF bird table at Bastion for a while this summer. I can imagine the nightmares ...... our nerves were shredded just waiting for you guys to come back each time!
