I remember the exercise well Jim. We had to let all of the Gurkha 'enemy insurgents' go after rounding them all up by the fourth day of the 8 day exercise. Hill hopping by Wessex choppers was a blast. There are a couple of 2 platoon photos from Fiji on here somewhere, I forget where, just have a poke around. I'm looking for a 2 platoon group shot at Ebrington in 76. I have the A Coy. full picture and also 1 platoon and 3 platoon pics on the Heli Pad on the main square but for some reason I can't find a 2 platoon one. Anybody out there got it?

Do I remember it ! right in the middle of a bleedin' monsoon, pissed down from the moment we got on the LSL's . Bloody Gurkhas and the pack mules wouldn't move , had to manpack the mortars miles to the fire point, OC A coy running round like a headless chicken, think he forgot it was just a exercise ! No sense of humour. Remember good times and mates, Joe Brady , Wally Waldron, both Woodies, John Mann , Mick Satch, The list goes on unfortunately the grey matter doesn't ! Donny
