Fox 3/Wanderoo..

Same Sqn, Fox, different courses.

To have been stuck on the plain amidst that quantity of armour would have been "entertaining", if quite an impressive sight (OK - in those conditions, sound).

My Flt's night-time stroll in the fog, a Camp 1 affair, simply brought us reasonably close to some of HM's clanking horse-substitutes as we stumbled across, I believe, a Sandhurst exercise in the wrong place. Whilst there weren't hundreds of tanks/AFVs in this instance, those that there were did seem to get close enough. The worst part was being the casualty (possibly for similar reasons to Fox's although I might be flattering myself about my ability with maps..), with a misty view of the stars but no way to gauge accurately what was happening on the ground. It all ended well, though, so no harm done..
