Some additions and one correction ...FRom Steven Cox<br />Some additions and one correction for your history.<br /><br />In the Feb 79 entry the Sqn went to Monterey, California.<br /><br />One our return we were seconded be ambulance drivers during another strike which almost caused me to miss my own wedding! One of our drivers had to drive a kid with a broken neck between hospitals in an army ambulance because the strikers would not allow us to use a real one.<br /><br />In Apr/May 79 we did another Harrier exercise.<br /><br />In 1980 before the commando exercise in Norway we did a preparatory one on the south coast.<br /><br />On the way to Norway it was the first time the RFA had all its troop carriers together for a while and so we did anti submarine exercises on the way over in a gale! From memory we took five days to get to Norway.Hank Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03425664650562217095noreply@blogger.com
