Welcome!

I lived in Machrihanish for about 5 months. I've never been so cold or wet in my life!
 
G'day. J.B. Shaw reckoned that golf was a good walk spoiled anyway.
 
Welcome Dave,

Which Bn were you with in the meat and veg?
 
Hi folks,

Nice, I had a mate in my section back home who was in 2 Para, I went to a drill night with 10 Para many moons ago while I was backpacking.
Great regiment, best Infantry in the world IMO.
 
Yes, i had a few mates in 10 Para, (white city) sadly the Battalion went in 1999, and lives now as 10 Coy 4 Para, we lost 15 Para in 1993. 4 PARA are the onlt TA Para unit outwith SF Reserve/etc....

I went to the Chelsea barracks, that was back in '94.

You still have 21/23 SAS in the TA? and SAS Reserve?

I'll bet $20 bucks it was gusting over 40mph when you jumped! It felt like we were living in a wind tunnel there.

On the positive side, I developed a taste for Single Malt while living there.
