How I wish I had seen that, it sounds brilliant!
During Gulf War 1. I was at an American patriot battery. We had gone out to where the US soldiers had set up perimeter defences with stingers. We had been dropped off in two Puma's. A US Colonel in charge of this airdefence setup came over and said 'Hey did you guys come in, in the pink Hips!'
As the Hip was part of the Iraqi Air Force inventory and was definitly 'meat' to be shot down by Stinger operators, we were more than slightly alarmed these guys couldn't tell the difference between a Brit Puma and a Hip.
