A little bit of “cheeky” military humour for the weekend – please excuse the brashness but we are after all a bunch of military veterans.
Here a South African Air Force #Alouette III helicopter’s Flight Engineer/Gunner gives a typical response to fellow crew members flying alongside.
Not found in the Public Relations photographs in the SADF but in the light of been far away from home, and in need of some light banter to alleviate the seriousness of combat on the Angolan border .. “boys will be boys”.
