Unhappy

Dear roprick, thank you. Apart from the so called "Battle of Box Hill" when did the Anti-Armour Lynx of the AAC shoot anything other than various targets on ranges. The so called "battle" was cardboard decoys. You (the AAC) have yet to engage a target that shoots back!

As to SH being battlefield taxis, if you call the ability of the Chinook HC2 to lift 9.5 Tonne with full fuel in support of the Army a taxi, then I bow to your superior knowledge. The Lynx and the Gazelle seem to carry out the battlefield taxi role on a regular basis, when serviceable that is.

Lets face it we are all support of the guys on the ground and I hope we all do it to the best of our ability.
