Civillian Monkeys indeed,

Steely eyed asian crime fighters, aka asia's funniest, if you don't mind ,

Scot,

met one of your guys in Phuket a few years ago IIRC he said he was a corpral and got scalped in that attack.

other scot,

is the training still at Penicuik? the black hills and Scald Law are really fun places during the winter (I lied) about as entertaining as otterburn DTA.

Cheers

Hi Craig, yeh, we got clobbered in that attack, guys from the QOH were with us at the time and they lost 5, and us in the Staffs lost 4. But what angered me was why the A10 Pilot was never brought to account over it. No offence to our American friends here, but we were ready to lynch the pilot.

I was in the ACF for some time, but i gave it up as they're all tossers!

It's only just a wee bit like the army i'm told.

Hi Craig, quick question, I've got a 1/35 Churchill Tank, and I've painted the crew with the burgunndy colours of the 11th Hussars, (Cherry Pickers).
But the crew look more like Paras, any advice please.

Scott,

You've got me on that one

As far as I know, and no doubt I'll be wrong, Brit tankers wore Black berets in the field although I have seen picures of GAD wearing brown/Khaki.

Try the IWM site.

Cheers

Craig
