        Hope there's 7 creases in those bell bottoms Benny? I melted one of those silks when I was a sea cadet, iron too hot.

          Was that the start of P coy or the end? We gave parachute training to a bunch of sailors about that time, they were part of a submarine rescue crew. Idea was to fly and drop over the sunk sub with a couple of rigid raiders with basic kit to locate the sub and make contact with any survivors before the rescue vessels arrived, not sure if the team formed as a consequence of the Russian sub that sank, or the team was formed before the Russian sub sank. dDm and distant past!

                SPAG didn't do P coy. The only RN required to do P coy were those in Combined Ops units and they only numbered around a dozen at any one time. As far as I know, only 4 of us wore the maroon [Bahrain, Hamala Camp 1962 to 64.] although we've always had teams supporting the Paras on exercises and ops ... Radfan, Falklands etc.,

                      I think it's 'Submarine Parachute Assistance Group'or some such bollocks. I stand ready to be corrected!
