Edited due the fact I am stupid and got it wrong the first time
I can't let a thread go by without starting some banter. To this end, it may be worth highlighting
The Army was the first to succesfully climb Everest as a single-Service in 1976 when Bronco Lane and Brummie Stokes summited,
The RAF when Chf Tech 'Dan' Carroll and Cpl 'Rusty' Bale summited on 22 May 01 as part of the RAF MRS expedition.
The Navy followed the other 2 Services in 2003.
The Army will have another go next year.
Flood gates open....
