Nor would we rotary chaps. Our job was to fly the anti-tank missile crews directly to their firing positions as the "WP main thrust" got going.
The Soviets built Hind anti-helicopter helicopters (and then the fixed wing "Frogfoot") especially for us. We just had a GMPG in the door - not a lot of use when the crewman couldn't open the door to use it. I had a 9mm which I think was to top myself with if I didn't get killed outright in the crash.
I reckon we'd have all gone within a day.
