The inter service boxing tournament was seen as too barbaric and so was cancelled. The RAF proposed a Race Off.. Oh where's the Navy?, well they sunk and the Army are stuck in the mud...

The MOD wished that the Requirement had been a little more detailed at the unveiling of the new Tactical Transport which was to be capable of transporting two military vehicles to a rough airstrip.
