A flavour of operating a main battle tank. Great vid, even if he's a cavalryman (alias donkey walloper - sorry Denny):

Re: My job is cooler than your job
Thanks. That explains the parallel sets of trackways and firing points visible at Lulworth in Google Earth! Charging along line-abreast must be a horse thing.
Scroll over to Lakenheath and count the F15s out in the open... all good PR!
cheers, Fabrice

Re: My job is cooler than your job
Great video and having grown up with "the Blues" (and subsequently RHG/D)nothing wrong wrong with donkey wallopers - except maybe the LGs!!
While we're playing with Google Earth, check out the Canberras at Pisco Airport, Peru. I had the good fortune to visit this airforce training base in 2006 when the Canberras were still an operational squadron. Even then, the aircraft at the outfield parks were non airworthy wrecks, but moved periodically to give an impression of greater strength to passing U2's, satellites etc!!
