Yes I'd have to agree it was a "eye catcher". The particular mission that I think that was off (could be wrong) is one where by 4 (?) royal marines sat on the out side of a apache helicopter to attempt a rescue of a fellow Marine. It is one of the things that stay's in my mind about the whole campaign. The bravery and selflessness was quite frankly amazing.

Don't quote me on this one but i belive they only come out every two months... most Recrutment offices have copy's and i belive you might be able to subscribe as well.
Like i said don't quote me on that but im shure it's not a regular thing.

Cheers, looks like you can read it on the website anyway. I reckon the picture is from the apache rescue mission aswell.

I think you can only read the contents page, and that photo is of the mission.

Edit: Just recieved my latest edition of the G&L and assume now its this photo you're talking about PAG, its quite a good one, makes a nice cover

The cover I saw (tho it might've been from the issue before) was a nose-on shot of the Apache with the lads hooked on. That's not a bad phot either tho.

Sorry my post wasn't clear I don't have to pay the AFCO but they told me I had to subscribe, just Snide made it sound as if his AFCO have been sending them to him. Are AFCO let us read them but I don't think you can take them, since I was told to subscribe I've never tried.
