Royal Navy PR person not quite sure about the meaning of covert
Truth Central article about 30 Cdo RM
"An element of the Lead Commando Group, SRS are a Pre Landing Force that seek a covert entry into enemy territory ahead of the main force to send back intelligence from the ground."
"One of the SRS Troop Commanders Captain Matt Hills said:
“As the lead element of the landing force we need to insert, covertly, by a number of different methods including boat, vehicle and parachute.
“It is vital we maintain our parachute capability in order to be as flexible as possible across a broad range of potential reconnaissance tasks.”"
I'm sorry Captain Mills, but if that is covert I'm a monkey's uncle

flying saucers
I hear the MoD UFO team (well one bloke really) was dispanded a while back. Who are these Scotish Islanders going to report the sighting of these flying saucers too? At least there is some good photographic evidence of the existance of the same.

AA,surprised at you..why didn`t you use `photoshop`.....
If a PR person knows about your unit, you aren't covert.
That is the reality of 21st century. Our fools at high levels have seen to that, on our side of the pond.

I blame the photographer!
He should have taken that picture at night, in total darkness without any lighting when no doubt this unit will be doing their thing!!
It might sound hard to believe but I have seen pictures of stealth aircraft flying in broad daylight!!!

I was just thinking the same. The picture may not have been quite as meaningful to many readers - mostly those that don't know what a parachute looks like, obviously - if it had looked like this

Hi Courtney,
Great picture which I had also seen but I was concerned it might be in breach of the official secret act. Showing this type of equipment in use is bad form but the image certainly highlights just how covert it really is 
Well done for posting it and I will certainly come and visit you should you get that knock on the door.

You know me, Mate. Livin' on the edge. It wouldn't have been so bad if I could have found one that didn't show the, erm, you know what. Fortunately, in the right light it just looks like a little white square.
