Saints at the time was similar, there was a course of Africans doing PTI courses, a lovely bunch of guys they were, really friendly, but when they introduced them to the Javelin, well... old Stanley Baker and Michael Caine would have had nothing to worry about with this lot, they were positively lethal and there were javelins going everywhere but down range. I was bloody scary, one missed a guy on our course by literally feet.
Halton we had Jordanians and that was interesting, only one spoke English so he had to translate the questions etc on the papers to them, strangely they all seemed to get the same answers too lol.
