Thanks for the heads up, caught it with 10 minutes to spare!

Agree, bit lightweight but there will undoubtedly be a lot more in the coming weeks.
Major point as has already been intimated, the Welshies were called to be a bit lacking, but then you can only be good at what your trained for.

Begs the query though, after the Helos were lost, was there no consideration made for land transport or a total re-embarkation as per the Welshies? What would a Benny have done? Couldnt a few dodgy land Rovers to carry kit have made all the difference in saving what could have turned into a debilitating force depleter? After all, we heard that the course of the main yomp was an "established logistical route"?

Never been there, so dont know how accurate that is
