I was present when Pte Smith died. Having come down with heat exhaustion he was left alone in an airconditioned room for several hours. However, due to the summer temps, the generators used to trip offline at midday, with them went any aircon. He subsequently ended up in a sweltering room. The next time anyone checked, he had fitted and was close to death. We started the cab in record time, but he never made to the aircraft.

You can take any standpoint you like on this issue, but if it prevents any of you going through a similar incident, I'm all for it.

RIP fella.
