After all these years I can still remember the artillery clip , 4 years later i was at bramcote as a junior leader gunner
Although first flight I ever got was in a helicopter with a bench seat either side and huge door opposite my position and still trying to fasten my seat belt when the pilot started a big bank turn , looking down at the ground , before we all had to jump out whilst the helicopter was at fast taxi speed along the old runway
No health and safety them days
Still not sure what heli it was but was poss Wessex
