All tanker crews deployed on OP GRANBY were issued with the deadly 9mm SLP and 2 mags. Quite why, I don't know - the likelihood of a VC10K surviving a crash landing in a hostile area was akin to snowballs in hell.

Come Endex, or rather Endwar, when the rounds were counted back not a single one had been lost!
