[Spitfire]

Just got there in time .... thanks

[Mayfly]

i think its a new series

[Spitfire]

Good so far ...... 'Humphrey' indeed

Those SAS wallas are hard cases

[Saracenman]

my brother worked with an ex-SAS bloke once - he made a female colleague violently ill once i gather.

she walked into the locker room to find said 'ard-as-nails chap removing his ingrowing-toenail with a pair of Leatherman pliers

[Spitfire]

That was some programme - I didn't know any of that - what pilots those guys were ... and as they said at the end there were SAS chaps on board Humphrey as it appraoched the ship at the end who had already been through 2 crashes
Amazing stuff

[Mayfly]

anyone see last weeks in Vietnam? using that helicopter as a giant rotary cutter to clear bamoo so they could land


tonights is from Afghanistan rescuing a stranded Navy SEAL

[Saracenman]

yeah i saw last week's too - very scary stuff!

i wonder if the series will cover the two recent British chopper rescues - the Sierra Leone one, and those RM nutters strapped to the side of an Apache in Afgan

bloody good series though

sm

[Mayfly]

I would willingly be straped to the side of an Apache if I was in Afgan..

[Saracenman]

depending on who the pilot was of course!

[Mayfly]

if we are thinking of the same pilot it wouldn't be the helicopter I would be interested in
