This does appear to be a thread started by a Journo looking for copy!, note my profile is filled out matey, you will note that anybod from the army here is 100% behind any award to the men of the hereford gun club, many actions of which have gone unrecognised for a very long time, as had actions of their predecessors, I am only surprised that Crab air hasn'put an E3 driver or 10 Tanker bloke up for one. few people in the Armed forces get down dirty and dangerous with the nasties in the way that the Regiment, Para and Marines and their supporting aircrews from the FAA, SH force and AAC.
I think it would be a top award to our countries finest instead of their having to say "he should of gotten it" or having to accept a lesser award because of Politics.
Journo's.......My A**e!
