Thanks everyone - glad to know I'd not missed anything!
Simon; I enjoyed the Trafalgar - might have a go at The Phoenix if tables are available (so long as it doesn't clash with a Somme trip!).

Roger,
I agree with PL from shooting point of view the L1A1 reticule for range estimation is not accurate, as other items snipers are issued with to do this job, not to mention the 100 yard rule... if it more than 100 yards or closer than 500 yards etc.. As for ex SAS men there seem to be a lot around especially after 1980 embassy siege...
Yes, the Iranians would have had to have extensions built prior to the assault to get them all in.Quote:

A police 'sniper' told me once that he was in the police equivalent of the SAS!
Crikey! It must be hell tabbing across the Beacons in those pointy hats.Quote:

Roger,
Finally managed to dig out the page in the German Manual referring to using the Grat as a range finder.
Cheers,

They had good eyesight back in those days.
