I know it is not aviation, but it is military and I really think it deserves a place here. As a massive Welsh Rugby fan and a huge admirer of the All Blacks and the tradition of the Hakka, I felt totally humbled to watch this.

Someone sent it to me a while back, it does make the hairs on the back of ones neck stand up. What a fitting tribute to a fine man.

Samuel,

My apologies. We probably use the double “K” in Wales because to us it is pronounced the Haaaaakkkkkkkkkaaaaaaaa.

I have seen it a few times and yet it always brings a shiver up my spine.
