    When you consider that was our best option in the Falklands War, it leaves you agast at the poor old squaddie once again carrying that at 2.9 Kgs and everything else with a 6.75 volt battery which only lasted 70 hours, when they could have easily bought in smaller tubes to do the job!!
    Still a good piece of kit to have when there's nothing else available!!

    'Tonight my men and I have been through hell and back again, but the look on your faces when we let you out of the hall - we'd do it all again tomorrow.' Major Chris Keeble's words to Goose Green villagers on 29th May 1982 - 2 PARA
