Such a tragedy there now. It costs 1 Million Zimbabwe dollars to buy a loaf of bread. And there is no bread to buy!

Excellent, apart from the naff folk song accompanying the trooper on his endurance trek.

I loved the quote "The instructors will tell you that parachuting is safer than playing rugby"

Hej Holger, have you found anything from the 1980 elections? 58 Sqn RAF Regt had a few guys from RAF Catterick down there policing the elections, it'd be interesting to see if they cropped up in any footage outside polling stations.

Had a Rhodesian bloke in 40CDORM Alfa Coys Sustained Fire Section in 74/75. Cpl Tug Wilson. A smashing guy who was the dogs bollox when it came to soldiering.

When he left the Corp he went home and joined C Sqn SAS. I still wonder what he's doing these days.

LOL!
Reminds me of what an old hand on II Sqn once told me. I'd imagine this is as old as the hills & applies to every arm.
"If it moves salute it, if it doesn't move paint it white, and if it ain't nailed down nick it"

Anyway, when and where yourself Stever?
I ended my days on II Sqn in '82.

Its that aole Mugabe that kept it all holed up a Swiss and Swede accounts.

Sithole in 1993 shoulda practiced a bit more.

Rhodesia was superb - as Ian Smith put it - more British than the British:) Certainly Harold Bloody Wilson at any rate..
