A surreal moment of mine...
Belize on a Puma detatchmet, Sgt Golf and pilot sent on the sad duty to recover the body of an SAS candidate, accidentally shot on a jungle range. On climbing out of the clearing, I pressed to transmit on either HF or FM to let base know we were airborne again. POB was a normal part of the call. I just went blank when it came to giving the number- did the poor bugger count/ should I count him.
I counted him- had we gone in he deserved to be recovered.
