Thanks, it makes a difference to the guys when they know they are supported.
What can I say, the food out here is good. The 300 Tdi lump does a great job of pulling it- just like the Snatch 2 which weighs in excess of 4.5 ton. But they do recomend the the rear tyres are filled to 78psi 
Due to the theatre no soft skinned vehicles are allowed to leave the base so they very rarely get kitted out. They tend to be used as a highly mobile support vehicle. It does mean that I get to play with bigger armoured vehicles with Remote Weapons Systems- Just like playstation but with .50 Cal machine gun

Just tell Ross Kemp to stop whispering when there is shooting going off - like it makes a difference
Seriously though, you are doing a great job - full support here & massive respect  |
