HM : For actions under fire - , but hardly a comparison to this incident.

Neither really is the Pakistan incident, where the "Hangers On" were trying to prevent departure of the cargo,
rather than an obvious aggression targetted at the pilot ?

As a member of the Armed forces you would be expected to get stuck in -
Good on you - Your Country really does need you

Not everyone is of the same 'robust' character though, and in THIS case,
( based purely on information posted here and other News reports ),
I am of the opinion that Capt. Blokland's decision not to engage the enemy
was the right one, for him, at that moment in time, in those circumstances.
