An AR5 sortie as a Puma crewman was a lorra lorra fun. Not! I only did a few, but if an average bit of down the back work was involved, it was hard.

Gulf War syndrome not from depleted uranium but likely sarin, study finds
Gulf War syndrome was not caused by debris from depleted uranium munitions but is likely to have been caused by exposure to sarin, a “conclusive” study has found.....
Researchers from the University of Portsmouth tested sufferers to examine levels of residual depleted uranium in their bodies and said the study “conclusively proves” that none were exposed to any significant amounts of depleted uranium......
Prof Parrish said the most likely remaining causes for the illness are low-level and widespread exposure to sarin nerve agent released widely from the destruction of Iraqi chemical weapons caches in January 1991, possibly compounded by the use of organophosphate anti-nerve agent medication and the liberal use of pesticides to prevent malaria exposure to allied forces......

Spent a happy morning on standby wearing my hissing handbag kit back in RAFG in ‘85 then launched off in a Chinook for a two hour sortie. It was doable and proved a point I suppose. Once.

Nimrod AR5 trials crew, no curry or DCS for hours and hours. Loading ordnance was a real pain. I remember taking the two layers of gloves off after a trip, my hands were all white and puckered. Picking up the dry bag was a mistake, left a lot of my skin on the handles...

What! The aircrew J knife being used to CUT stuff? We only ever used it to open bottles of Keo outside Block 101.
Yup, Med Centre at Lyneham had a queue outside for this lovely lovely cocktail. Who knows wtf it did to people cos you can bet your last $ that the antrax and Whooping vacines had not been through any trials as a double jab at the same time. Criminal.
Obv not a happy morning but Ditto but with the extra "fun" of NVG too for me one winter evening at Gut.

Anthrax, meningitis, whooping cough jabs and I can't remember what else - but all required pre-GW1!!
