bad day for armed forces
Heard the shocking news of the loss of the commanding officer of the first battalion, The Welsh Guards and a trooper of the Royal Tank Regiment as well as the death of two tornado crewmen from RAF leuchars whilst on a training mission. thoughts are with their families and colleagues at this time.

Re: bad day for armed forces
It's a dangerous job even in peacetime. My thoughts are with their friends and families also.

Re: bad day for armed forces
Aye, the losses are mounting up... must be devastating for friends, families and relatives.
My brother in law has recently returned from Afghanistan, he's in a recce platoon royal highlanders/regiment of scotland but was on the warrior tanks out there.... some of his stories really wake you up a bit.
