Re: Rockapes...
The RAF Reg used to send blokes who had passed their 'selection' for their Para Sqn (2 Field) on the Basic Para course. got to say i was shocked at the dross they were putting forward, absolute shite, many simply not fit, poorly co-ordinated, they refused to jump in numbers. One of their officers came down to 'support' his 'lads' on Basic Para course (something no other unit I ever trained ever does ('go, get yer f***in wings then come back' -not be mollycoddled through the course. i told this officer they were crap and would not get near the P Coy course. He moaned that i was using my Para selection background as the 'yardstick' which was 'unfair'. Now you see the end result in the appalling photies above!!!

Not had any dealings with them in service, had one in the MOD Plod with me who claimed to have been in the Kings Colour Squadron. Which I found difficult to believe as he had the cordination of a Gallawa with three feken legs !Bob (geordie) Watts

Don, this bloke I knew was solid mate, he once told us, ( I was sitting in my Landrover by the side of the airstrip, when a fighter jet came in to land with only one wheel. So I shot onto the runway, and caught his wing tip on the roof of the Rover !) as they say Don, God loves a wanker mate !Bob (geordie) Watts
