Worrying news as we head into Christmas.

MISSING SOLDIER

A teenage soldier due to be sent to Afghanistan has vanished while on holiday with his girlfriend in Tenerife. Jackson, 18, was on a night on the island last Friday when he jumped over a wall near their hotel at around 2am.

His girlfriend, thought it was a joke - but Jackson has not been since and his bank cards have not been used.

Hope he is found soon.

Has anyone looked to see what is on the other side of the wall?

Could be anything from a pi22ed up squaddie kipping in a bush, to a 100mtr drop into the ocean.....

Bit of a vague article.

Made our local news, seems that they rowed a bit and he wandered off bladdered up.

It was a 12 foot drop into the sea.

Not seen since last Friday, here's hoping Jacko.

According to the family who were interviewed this lunch time (thurs), the wall was less than 3 feet in height. If he had stood up at any stage the G/F would have had no trouble in seeing him. The girlfriend expected to meet him at the walls end, she thought he was crouching as he ran along hidden from her, so he could scare her when they met.

Sadly, as we know he hasn’t been seen since Friday. He is only 18, lets hope that he is simply lying low, well embarrassed and wondering, “How the f*c* can I get out of this stupid mess that I have got myself into?” God forbid there isn’t going to be any black sinister outcome to this. Let's hope its sorted by Christmas day.

given the number of lucky-lucky men transitting the canaries this is a real possibility.
