Looking forward to reading my copy

I hope some of the good stories come out one day, too - in the First Gulf Unpleasantness our Chinook det received Engine Air Particle Separators just before the start of hostilities. We were told later that a Sqn Ldr in MoD had put in a timely phone call to the manufacturer, who set aside a number of sets as the original customer (who had a MUCH larger requirement) hadn't yet passed the appropriate paperwork to them. Other items also appeared with amazing speed - M134 minigun kits (plus GE expert armourer to supervise fitting on-site) spring to mind, There was a minor distraction with the then-not-fit-for-purpose digital-display RWR, but that was quickly forgiven.
