Shamelessly nicked off the ARSSE site. The orficers don't half talk posh doesn't one? 1968 17/21st Lancers in BAOR and Berlin.

Actually, one feels that if one smacks a target, even a Conqueror, with a 120mm tank

round, something rather dramatic takes place. Those "hits" weren't even scratching

the jolly old paintwork.

Not bloody cricket old chap !

Many thanks for your action-a real blast from the past, and an insight of those happy days in BAOR pre OP Banner which can never be repeated

My complaint is the 70 strong REME LAD has been edited out of existence, a pack lift was shown but no mention of the Squadron fitters who must have been involverd

Ah, nostalgia - not as good as it used to be!! Didn't see anyone getting arrested in Geordies Bar or Bill Days,' what's that matter with those guys? Shocked

Were you not aware that the role of the British Cavalry is to add tone to what would have otherwise been a vulgar brawl?

I'd forgotten about that - they could have volunteered to drive the Ambulances! Very Happy
