    Re: Out and about

    I think I can safely say without any contradiction that 7 RHA have always been the smartest unit in the Airborne Brigade. However; the position of some of those cap badges (ciphers) defy belief; looking akin to sections of the Frog and Itie Armies. It will be on the back of the beret before long.

    Thanks Jack, I really enjoyed that.

      Something a little different
      I heard a tale that some of 3 Para were flying over the med and a guy up front sat on the bomb release button and all their kit fell in to the Med

        Good one again Jack. Last time I saw one of those in action was up in the Radfan with the Hunters.
        God made Para's to give Marines someone to look up to and worship.

            well obviously 9 Sqn excepted
            I have always set myself a very low standard, and constantly fail to achieve it.

                7 RHA have creases in their creases; that's smarter than smart.

                9 Squadron can be as smart as they like; axle grease under the fingernails and a tab behind the ear slightly spoils the look.

                  No we never used axle grease, just used to piss on a stiff nut then hit it with a five pound sledge that used to free it !

                        Beamish, great place, when I want a blast from the past that's the place to be ! How much are they charging now Dave, because it's a few years since I last paid it a visit ?

                            About 20 years since I last visited mesen Bob,but talking to an old dear from across the road who visited last week,it,s expanded a lot since then.The threpenny bits open,and they,ve more or less rebuilt a big f.ck off stately home that was demolished somewhere in the North East,and looking at the updated leaflet,it,s twice the size it was when I last visited.
                            £13 to get in,but thinking about it,you have a good nostalgic day out,and compared to £28 to see shite 3rd Division Footy,ses it all!

                              Watched it all but I watched the singing bit five time now.
                              Whats the name of the song in the beginning bit Jack, and who is the folk singer ?

                              Theres no place like Britain. None
