one of the last stories on the network news last night was
the story of a royal marine (sorry had the tv on as background, missed the guys name) who was shot four times in the head.
the picture showed him, helmet on. smiling up a storm.
seems his was in a fire fight when the bullets came his way
all struck his Kevlar helmet, saving his life.


from the BBC broadcast,

an interview with the youngest pilot in the combar arena, i think he was about 6 years from shaving....... he flies a Harrier and was involved in his first combat mission.


god bless the Harrier and Tornado pilots.

The UK (and the world) should be VERY VERY proud of the these RAF pilots...they fly the dirtiest mission profiles and pretty much get no recognition for it.
