On our first run, I can remember driving flat out in the tank, absolutely crapping myself, what made me even more scared was that Dutch climbed down from the tuirret, wrapped his arms around me and squeezed his eyes shut, the first round completely destroyed the tank barrel, and all the cordite and flame came in through the periscope holes.......Oh how I laughed
in various parts of south wales (newport being one) wrapping your arms around someone is considered a sign of friendship and a comfort for said person in times of extreme terror , yours not mine . ok both i admit but just like sex i got better as time went on and only cried for the first six rounds fired ....how brave was that pooley
All very entertaining lads but i`m still not any closer to finding a photo of APC plt/C.Coy.Where are all the ex APC plt members ?
we had an open day on the target tanks and all apc platoon members attended , they are now completing electric shock treAtment in the cracker farm ..THEY'RE COMING TO TAKE ME AWAY HA HA HEE HEE
There,s got a be a photo somewhere of Johnnie Hood in his storemans brown coat. I remember in the garages when he went into the cage for some stores, certain drivers were heard to shout, NORMAN THE STOREMAN! ( whilst hiding behind a 432) . I can name a few names on this site who were guilty, but none cowrered as much as our Al.
