    Surely they had F Troop in Kiwi land, Kiwi.
    Agan, the bugle player?

    Ken Berry as the bungling Captain?

    A few years after Lockerbie I was a security officer, part of my job was working on the x-ray machine screening all the bags. We had been advised that one of the victims father was flying out that night. He thanked us all saying his daughter and the rest of those passengers may have been saved had they had the same level of security. I'm pretty sure it was Doctor Swire mentioned in the article. May they all Rest in Peace

    It was 30 years ago yesterday that the Clapham rail crash occurred when 35 people lost their lives. The 80's were a decade of disasters.

    News just released that actress and ex-partner of Clint Eastwood, Sondra Locke passed away last month. Although not the greatest actress, she worked really well alongside him in quite a few films including Every Which Way But Loose.....really enjoyed those films when I was a kid

    On a night out with pals, one of them is was based in Edinburgh with Royal Highland Fusiliers at the time, and he was sent down with his unit to secure the area after the crash, and is headed to a memorial in Lockerbie on Friday...he's still quite emotional about the whole event

    Just heard Paddy Ashdown has passed away. Of all the passengers I've had on board in the past six years I can honestly say he was one of the nicest I've met, a sad loss, RIP...
