I forget the name of the base but I think it was near Amesbury, Salisbury Plain. We did some night drops and one lad landed on top of a barbed wire fence, one leg either side of the barbs. I can still hear his screams now as the wind filled his chute and dragged him along. Poor bugger. Netheravon or Middle Wallop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to go out to Everleigh, Netherhaven, Burbage, then call into the Chinky on way back. I loved it but was only there for a year. What year are you talking about, I was there late 70's.

I'm a huge supporter our our underappreciated and brave servicemen and women both in the past and the present, my younger brother was in the "duke of boots" , my uncle was in the KOSB's, I have attended numerous events over the years simply just to show my support and applaud these brave and loyal people. I'm sorry if i have offended you though Agree just a bit of banter. Didn't seem at all rude to me though clearly opinions differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came out just before the first Gulf war started, always regretted it, but after seeing what you boys went through, think I got away with one.

Was he deleted for being a Walter? he was a good bloke in real life, helped me loads with my lad and his ptsd also set up a unit for helping many others suffering the same , yes he was outspoken on here and did go over the top at times , but the man had a heart of gold and by my book did not deserve a ban on that footing alone , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
