Never mind the drivers
Good to see that Sky News got it right for once and included the Army down the back!!! The Albert crews are merely the taxi drivers to allow 47AD to drop the load. Thanks for the ride,SIGNED
An ex Air despatcher who left the fold
Good to see that the Boys from LYN are finally getting some recognition for the tasks they do. Hopefully this will help to keep air despatch firmly on the map come the next round of leaning or whatever the cuts are called these days.
AD was often overlooked in favour of the Helo option, but because they are strapped, they have finally found that we are the world experts in air-drop with very high success rates. Good on you lads and keep up the good work.. only wish I was still there with you

Hi Grim,
Here's a link to the video, which unfortunately didn't work on my PC. Might work for you.

You've got to love Microsoft.... video fails without errors if you view from within Firefox but works happily in Internet Explorer. Who'd have thought they'd rig their technology in such a way?
Good Looks?
Thanks for that link guys.
Put a big smile on my face seeing the old work mates' at it in Iraq.
I see Jell's has not lost any weight and the North East's finest No2 is still that..a number 2..might get his DCC one day!!
Carve111... I think we may have just done so.. Gibraltar ring any bells??
Hope no-one is in too much trouble out there trashing Lynx blades for Tri-colours????

Nice one Kirbs,
Better than the one we did at Camp B oop North, I copped for the the beers as make-up hadn't got time to do the Capt's hair. Just hope no-one has been NCR'd from an armchair in Wilts for having a dinghy knife or helmet a day passed the servicing date...... if it weren't for the film crews they'd never know what happens east of LCRA!!!
