Awesome tale/tail!!!!
Talking of Walts, someone mentioned earlier Costas Georgiou, aka Colonel Tony Callan and the Angola unpleasantness in 1976. It was John Banks and another Walt Leslie Aspin did the hiring for that mad adventure. I happened to meet Costas, Nick Hall (lived in Lincoln),Sammy Copeland (RSM who did the shooting at Maquala) Mick Wainhouse and Shotgun Charly Christodoulou, the original four mercs that went to Angola in 1975/76 at a wedding of a good Para friend in Lincolnshre. All mad as a box of frogs, but seemed like good guys at the time.Well they brought the beers!!! All members of 1Para all apart from Charly spent time in Colechester with dishonourable discharges. Went home to Louth Lincs for the millennium in 1999 New Years Eve in my old local bumped into John Banks....living in Gainsbourgh,free beer off him ,but Jeez, what a bull****ter, made Shortt look honest. My brother signed up with Banks but thought better of it after meeting him....
