Rocket Chucker;

the majority of the team are 'proper paras'
As in 'The Parachute Regiment'? They are the only 'proper paras' not a bunch of playing-at-being-ally-walt rockapes.

As for you larging it by saying the rockapes were the last british airborne unit to carry out an operational drop, you and I know the real truth and they didn't exactly advance to contact after the 'operational drop' did they?

The Parachute Regiment can look ally wearing their berets in a jaunty fashion; rockapes just look like a bunch of air cadets who have watched too many war films when they try it. We're not on about dress regs or the correct way to wear a beret. We're on about it just looking crap.


Are rocks easier to wind up than RAF coppers?
