all you old and bold! or even the the new ones
I have a copy of the original "The Paras" series aired on TV in the 80's. Which features the famed 480 platoon or commonly known as "Hollywood platoon". You may if you look hard recognise a certain recruit who you may have seen in a certain bobsleigh team !
This is a series from day one at Depot para through to P company and onto Brize and passout, in the days when Depot was Depot.
I was wandeirng if anyone know's the best place to upload this, i was going upload it somewhere for everyone to see and share the fun, any ideas ? it is currently on VHS but i will get it encoded shortly.
This series has Cpl Al Slater in it whom i believe sadly went on to serve with 22 and was then killed in a IRA skirmish in NI though i stand to be corrected on the events around his death.
Anyways if anyone knows of the best place for me to put this and if there is any interest in it i would be grateful.
Regards.

Good series with some cracking quotes. Ron mate, would be a good one to have on 'the site'.It doesn't cost very much, in fact its free from the qaurtermasters store, but to us, this Red Beret is priceless.

oh right didnt realise you could buy it in whsmith actually, i know there is on called the paras which is just a documentary, oh well if you cna buy it readily available not much point making a deal out of it here.
But yes some great quotes, such as "2 of the biggest teabags you've ever seen, biscuits that taste like manhole covers" awesome.

Copy that.

I'll have plans for these vids when I get my site all squared away, watch this space.
