It's pretty common to find the Ruskies around our waters. They've prevented me from going home to see my family on many occasions due to them wanting to test our response times.

FRE?

That was when I was on the Edinburgh. I was on Iron Duke as well. Hated 23's but loved my time on 42's

Had a couple of mates on the Kent. Andy Foster and Dean Evans

Im in Nelson now serving out my notice only a few months left. Loved my time in the mob.

Agreed but its worthless without an all arms ability.

Gulf War 1 - 6 months of bombardment by RAF.

100 hours of boots on the ground (read tanks crossed the start line) and endex was called.

Jan 17 1991 the Air War started

Feb 24 1991 - Ground troops start

Mar 3 1991 - Ceasefire

6 months of bombardment ?

Apologise on the air strikes, you are correct.

I believe Kuwait was clear of all Iraq troops by 28 Feb and that was the day I think you'll find Bush declared the ceasefire.

Yep Bush declared the cease fire on 28 Feb but was accepted on Mar 3rd by Iraq from UN - it was the day my basic training started

Feb 26-27 was the night I was on Highway 8, not to be confused with Highway 80.

Get Trident out of Scotland.

If Westminister want Trident then store Trident in London. I don't want nuclear weapons within 50 miles of my abode!

Would you like the Nuclear Weapons to protect your abode though ?

There is only one place to house the Trident - exactly where it is helping thousands of your fellow countrymen be in employment also
