    I sit corrected. Although I'm not sure that counts as it was only one person.

    More power to his elbow though...

      Been on one a couple of times between north sea oil platforms, they gave me a rubber orange survival suit that about three other people could have fitted into. You could tell the novices on the first trip, they were the ones who didn't hold their hard hats on so they got blown away when the helicopter landed.

          Yes, we know. However, if and when you learn to read English, re-read the original post.

          I'll give you a clue. It mentions the "Last operational jump".

            Yes, but the poster was discounting it as it was only one person, so I gave an example of the last operational jump, that was after Suez, and involved more than one person.

            I'll give you a clue: Google up 'context'.

            BTW is it your lot that have set all the pimps off trying to find warm bodies to fill seats in Cambridge?

                OK, just to clarify, I was talking about the last combat jump of battalion size. Does that put the matter to bed?

                  No, I think you need to also add, "jumped into Egypt".
