What was interesting is that it clearly shows that even in 1979 the RAF had their own procurement system. The Bedfords and Land Rovers are that dark blue colour, so suited for the European landscape (sorry, just a joke) and their own number plate system such as 12 AA 34. They'd started to get 58 pattern webbing though. I mean, those blokes abseiling from the hueycopters!!!!! What did they look like! They could have come down another 10 feet and just jumped out! Something is clearly wrong because it shows the RAF blokes near the helicopter wash. That wouldn't happen in real life because it really messes up your hair
You shouldn't take the mickey Pete, I once completed an Advanced RAF Regiment Map Reading Course, whilst on a NAAFI break with nothing else to do.
It went like this........................ Out of the Gate, turn left, airfield on the left....................airfield on the left.......................airfield on the left...........................airfield on the left.............................airfield on the left.............................back at the gate. .................phew!
While our ex RAF Regiment members blow fuses and grind their teeth with anger, I will cause a diversion....
With my anorak on and zipped up, it's interesting to note the laminate forends on the L1A1's featured in the video.
They (laminates) were a relatively recent arrival in 69 and it does suprise me the RAF would have damaged (beyond repair) the wooden forends on their rifles so early on, after no more than 10 years of service.
