You too big man and both our fathers in the RAF too, I had the pleasure of working with your dad at Fine Fare when I was 16 on a Saturday iirc, he was a fork lift driver

Yes indeed, left last year.

 

[Lethargic]

The oldest and the best... 2(AC) Squadron, so good we used cameras rather than weapons...

Yes indeed, left last year.

Everyday’s a school day, I wasn’t aware the AAC wore digital multi scale camouflage fatigues?

Whilst on the subject, good to see Joanna keeping up the campaign.

These chaps are a great bunch to work with.
We have a lot of them, now retired from the Ghurkas, carrying out normal guard duties on certain units.
Very friendly, but you wouldn't mess with them.
I posted this earlier, with another tribute from GWR

I'm getting old. Or just senile.

I looked at your link. Went to Twitter. Thought how good it was then posted it back here....

They had a couple on the door at the Union Jack club when I was last there and you wouldn’t believe how well behaved everyone was when they were around.

A Royal Marine I shared a house with in Pompey spent time with Johnny Gurkha and he said something along the lines of “ the problem with Johnny Gurkha is that he doesn’t know when to stop. He’ll stop when either you are dead or he is” …..

I saw her at Dartmouth in 1976. It was only when I digitalised the old family pictures after Dad, ex-navy, died. I looked up the frigate number and it was Brighton. My Dad must have known.

He said he was in a Spithead review in 1953. They had one in 1977. Not sure if they have had others since. But we saw that one.

Armed Forces Day,what a JOKE. This is how to remember.

A legal coin to remind the snowflake/woke/pc army why they are here.
