      I was going to explain in detail what an "L TEC AR" did, however,I then remembered that you used to leap out of perfectly serviceable aircraft for a living..........

        And your point is .... ? :tears-of-joy: (He who hesitates is lost... !) L TEC AR interests me greatly Andy - is that an acronym for Lowly Technicians Assisting Ruperts?

          .... Good attempt... and actually better than I'd expected from one who must've bumped his head FAR too often
          I shall break it down for you....
          "L" ... Electronics,(a clever type of electrics)....
          "TECH" ... (Yep,a Technician...which to you grunts,is a kind of GOD )...
          "A" .... Air..(The stuff you lot hurtled through whilst trying to defy the laws of Gravity)...
          ... and finally.......
          "R" Radar.... even more clever stuff which worked by...... oh, nevermind !!!

            That's a very harsh assessment of my mental capacity :disappointed2: - well, at least I know that (a) 'Electronics' begins with the letter 'E' (Echo to those who didn't live in cosy, warm workshops (b) 'Technicians' aren't Gods - generally they're too fat and short-sighted to measure up against us real (and modest) true Godly beings possessed of physiques that Charles Atlas (remember him?) would covet, (c) I'll grudgingly concede that point - BUT (d) I seem to recall we stole a nice Germanic example of said contrivance to allow you play 'catch up' some time ago! I'm thinking game, set and match to me Sirrah!

              .... Hmmm, not really mate..
              However,you have a valid point in that last instance,(I did think they were Marines though,not Airborne,and they did have to take an RAF Tech with them to dis assemble,and nick it ?!),
              Nuff said now really,at the end of the day ALL of us play our part,and are trained better than any other country in the world... (even if our Governments continuously treat us like s***. )
              Just great to know, even if "virtually" these days,chaps of a like mind

                Radar techs, probably the best trade in the armed forces. Little work and the ability to use the time to learn card games such as Bridge and Euchre. However 'God'!! Nah!!!
                Agree with Andy, best trained AF bar none. Probably the most underrated!! SBS. No Andy MacNabs there.
                Now sits back and waits for the flak!!!!:smiling6::smiling6::smiling6:

                          Apologies for the terrible photos. The smoke grenade pots were terrible so I had no choice but to make my own. They are far from perfect but believe me they are better than the kit offerings.

                          Next the drivers side Mirror was scratched this was attached to a box fitted to the side of the cab, there was also an upright square section tube. Unfortunately I didn't have any square section so I formed some round ally tube into square section.

                                I loved that car when I was kid, I was always jealous of the kid driving it on the TV show.
