AA62,
Interesting article re the noise in Albert. I know for fact that my hearing definitely suffered after 5000 hrs plus of hammock operations. Although my "reduced auditory acuity" was noted on my discharge, no one suggested it was anything unusual. Pardon ?
Doug M, Mz Chalmers, now there's one for the books, I will tell him you remember when I see him next.
Drag, just finished Exocet Falklands myself, and found it a very "eye opening" tome. Knowing some of the named characters in the book put it into some perspective, and probably, like you I have nothing but respect for their determination to do their best, should they be asked to go.
