Jungle tape it is - AND - they don't make it like they used to.

How the fcuk could we do what we did without it - Pigstick sights, ammo packaging, WRAC handcuffs (Oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

Whatever you call it, it's bloody good stuff with lots of uses although not very successful with 2000psi hydraulic leaks

Some years ago on a Chinook bound for BL, the helo did a rapid descent. We sat there wondering WTF was going on. The loadie appeared and begged for maskers. I had a roll in my webbing. He took it, did something and the Chinook took off. I never found out what was wrong but I did get my tape back and I did find out that we had made an emergency landing in a minefield!

Duct tape is gray and is not to be confused with Harry Maskers...
