[NutLoose]

Agreed. :ok:

[airborne_artist]

BZ to all concerned.

[minigundiplomat]

Agreed, good effort. Though I have never considered rank or attendance of SARTU as a barrier to excellence.

[TorqueOfTheDevil]

I have never considered...attendance of SARTU as a barrier to excellence


Likewise, the people at SARTU don't consider the training they provide to be a barrier to excellence either!

BZ indeed. Is it me or does the picture of Major RM, CSgt, Cpl and Lt Cdr omit the chap who actually flew the thing?

[Charlie Time]

Nope, both pilots are named.

[orca]

My point Charlie Time old chap, is that the citation says a Lt by the name of Inglis drove the thing, whereas there doesn't appear to be a Lt RN in the team phot.

Do apologise from detracting from the thread which should obviously be a straight BZ.

With the aid of night-vision goggles they made short work of the 55-mile transit, arriving on scene within an hour of the initial contact – a remarkable achievement.

Did they mean doing 55mph in a Sea King Mk 4 was a remarkable achievement or doing 55mph in the prevailing conditions was a remarkable achievement?:)
