The Hakka, in a different way!

I know it is not aviation, but it is military and I really think it deserves a place here. As a massive Welsh Rugby fan and a huge admirer of the All Blacks and the tradition of the Hakka, I felt totally humbled to watch this.

Someone sent it to me a while back, it does make the hairs on the back of ones neck stand up. What a fitting tribute to a fine man.
