"I know we joke about this, but anyone could go to Kandy, anyone could then be asked to fly intra-theatre and anyone might need to run away/ defend themselves/their mates etc."
Southy I agree with your sentiment, however, I'm sure I could defend myself / mates / oppoes much better if I actually shot my Fisher-Price bang stick more than 30 rounds in 2 years. Spend money on regular shooting practice and the odd airfield-defence exercise - surely that's a more likely basic scenario for those of us "in the rear, with the gear"?
Oh - and give me back my SLR please. Stop any bugger that
