Q came up with a brilliant place to store the spare ammunition, of course Vindaloos for the camel were out of the question.

A favourite British TV series had to be extensively re-written in order for the re-make to be comprehensible to Arab audiences.

Here we see Ari ibn Steptoe out collecting shells and other scrap from the beach.

EGT monitoring was always fairly accurate on this model.

...but insists that swallowing is exempt from the study.

The new live action update of "Wacky Races" was causing controversy with some viewers.

In a break with tradition, Kensington Palace allows Harry's old army chums to organise the coach for his wedding.

Each time the gun is fired, the camel reacts the recoil in the only way it knows.

Consequently, Mustapha could never see where his shot had fallen.

Hello boys and girls. See if you can spot the dirty, stinking, hairy animal in this photo. (Hint:look behind the camel).

"Never mind, Humphrey old chap, if they see us coming, they'll only send a Tornado to buzz us off - it's a bit noisy, but it doesn't hurt".


You think that is fanciful ? Read this:

"Daily Telegraph" (Victoria Ward) 09/01/2015:

..."The pair have said that one of their proudest moments to date involved helping to foil a rocket attack on their base at Kandahar airfield in 2010.

There was a high threat and the base was expecting an imminent attack after some men were spotted in a nearby ditch, setting up to fire a rocket at their accommodation block.

Wg Cdr Thomas, as navigator, and Flt Lt Fleming were already airborne over the base and cleared the airspace around Kandahar for a “show of force.”

They took the aircraft out to 15 miles from their position in the ditch and came down to low level, approaching at more than 500mph and as close to the Operational Low Flying minimum of 100 feet as possible, passing directly over them before heading into a steep climb

The rocket crew immediately scarpered in a truck and the pair felt they had made a tangible difference to protect their colleagues.

Wg Cdr Thomas said at the time: “We can perform a range of effects from a show of force to the provision of precise lethal force utilising a variety of advanced weaponry.

“The intention is to always use the minimum force required to provide the effect needed by the guys on the ground.

"We do whatever they need to help them out in a sticky situation, be that just a radio relay between the ground elements to dropping precision weaponry on insurgents"......


[or scaring them off, so they can come back tomorrow and try again ? - I had to pinch myselfwhen I read that !]
