Nice, never heard of it. The guy looks like he's hoping for the best when he pulls the trigger.

I would be looking brown trouser scared if I was pulling the trigger.

Terry, I have to ask: do you, or your mustache, ever miss being in the Para's?

Sometimes Jim, but probably more from nostalgia. I continued sport parachuting up to the early 1990s, and also lectured, and did 'outdoor' training events, with a military theme, up until about 8 years ago, when the arthritis prevented me doing more, so it sort of continued the camaraderie in a way.

Good pics chaps. I've always though that flame throwers were possibly as dangerous to the user than anything else - scary kit !

I doubt many Flamethrower operators got captured alive and if they did they got shot whilst attempting to run away with a broken leg.

Great photo!

And I can't help but notice that unusual building in the background.

Is it a collier station? Any idea?
