With the rest of the lads we put all the tents up we were set up for the Sundays event. Not before having a drink in the most surreal pub I have ever been in. Only hours before there was just a field and a patch of grass. Within a few hours a pub was standing complete with a bar, carpets and dartboard. A picture of the King and notices telling us not to waste were everywhere.

We had a very good time and left in the late hour’s, for the next days event.

Sunday started at 1000hrs with a bit of light drill to blow out the cobwebs and have a quick look round the site. The public started to turn up and we got to work on them. There were lots of people telling us their stories. At dinnertime we started parachute training.

This made the regular members of the Parachute Regiment ask how did we know some of the drills we were talking about. After explaining that a lot of it was research and more than a bit was practical experience because we were all members of Pathfinder.

I got the chance to try on the LLP & LLRP. There were members of Para Sigs ,Para Regt and RLC EoD to name a but a few, it was good to see there kit but we did get some funny looks when we told them we had jumped. We all visited the Airborne Assault and were very impressed with the kit set up and the way things were shown. The day drew to a close with a drive past down the Perry track and runway of a large number of military vehicles and of course we did not let the side down. Trying to race a Landrover Wolf with a Jeep was not to be missed.

At 1700hrs we started to pack up and by 1800hrs we were all set for the off.

On the hole it was a very good event and we hope it takes place next year.
