Silsoe,
it seems I am outnumbered and perhaps the picture should be seen as a laugh.
After all, in my lifetime I have seen hundreds of dead bodies, close up, in fact my current jobe entails wading through human carnage on a weekly basis.
But the one that always sticks in my throat (I can smell the burning flesh when I see pictures) is the one where I went to a jet ranger crash a while back which failed to negotiate a hill in fog. I arrived 8 minutes after the crash and on arrival stood helpless and watched the pilot and three passengers burn to death in the helo. The pilot was desperately trying to get out from under the instrument coaming at the time.
Your picture reminded me of that...........

Funny what inconsiderate, ill prepared, somewhat pathetic gestures of humour do to others around you isn't it?

You've obviously hardened to it ...being a veteran and all that.
