B15,
Agreed, wouldn't want to be the cameraman! But with that amount of mud in them do you think they'd actually work? It does prove that it's really difficult to hold your weapon with an assualt troop life jacket on - which is designed to keep a fully loaded booty afloat.
Having walked in fairly unpleasant UK river mud I dread to think what's in the Iraqi harbour mud, hope they were up to date with their jabs!
PN,
A forum like this is the perfect place to help fill your experience bucket before the other one runs out. Sharing of experiences is a key tool in flight safety, hence the fact we are all pestered to contribute to Flight Safety mags. Also the best place to find info in a hurry, Pprune was the first place I checked when I heard about the Tonka crash. Enough has been said re Alfie posts!
