They must have been in Ireland in OctÂ´71 as Sgt Graham Cox QDG was killed(sniper?) there while serving with the Para Sqn RAC.

And before anyone asks.............I like both feet on the ground.....did not even attempt Pcoy!

It confirms my memory. I remember seeing it on the OrBat while I was at Catterick Sep 75 - Feb 76 but by the time I reached the regiment, it had gone.

There is an OCA for Para Sqn (I wasn't in it - far, far too young!), they meet every year in Bovvy. PM me and I'll get you a contact if you don't have one already.

Should have kept that quiet Cowhead once the powers that be in the RAC find out that things are getting to sexy for the RTR and now all the ground work has been done, they'll replace you with a Cav regiment.
