Nice to see an engineer can put the toe ramps down, pitty he doesn't know how his new mobile works "ehh bonny lad"

...but at least he can spell.
In the very early days (at night) of our Afghanistan adventure, a couple of 'engineers' dropped the toe ramps and had a quick look around to check it was safe for the SAS to disembark. :cool:

Don't believe all you see. It was Pembrey not Pendine, close. Also the C130 did not land and disembark the Jaguar.
It landed, LOADED the Jaguar, and THEN disembarked it!!

You mean they trusted that job to LXX?
Wow. ..
I suppose SF are still ruing the lack of CBR in Denmark????
Failing that I assume they're busy elsewhere.
Good luck chaps.
