Big Wokka at Altcar on Saturday..

To the Big Navy Wokka crew at Altcar on Saturday, thanks for brigtening my day, when I was stuck out in the back of beyond, doing ranges and such, and terminally bored. Were you there giving the cadets joyrides?

Little basts, playing 40-a-side footy at 11.00 at night, made a chap get quite regimental

Go to sleep u little Basts, I've been fcu*ed about all day etc etc

Always thought the Big Banana went thump-thump-thump. Well to my ears anyway, but thats usually after I've expended several hundred rounds, so maybe me ears are playing me up?

Sea Kings deffo. go wokka-wokka-wokka.......

Then again, the UH-1 has a very very distinctive sound, but nothing sounds as good as a Puma or Wessex back to the Grove when you're in your last week in the Emerald Khazi
