L14A1 Carl Gustav 84mm Anti Tank

[Gil Boyd]

Roy,
that did make me laugh and spill my G&T. Yes can relate to that, I think I only ever fired it 3 times. The rounds were extortionate and clearly why we never got to fire many in training. Mind you that training paid off later. 2 PARA were the only unit to ever fire a Charlie G in Belfast during the troubles at a hijacked car full of explosives near New Lodge flats off the North Antrim road in 1972, the ATO officer who is very well known and holds a GM Mike C.......decided it was the best action to take at the time.
