hibby said:Wern't these tubs fitted with GPS? or was it an "opptional extra" that the procurment bean counters left off the list .
Its amazing that Mondeo man and reps in vectras get it as standard ,but the navy cant get it in a war zone
Surprised? You shouldn't be. When the frontline units on Telic 1 couldn't get Noddy suits or respirators that fitted in some cases, what price GPS? MoD beancounter cnuts. That said, the Shatt is comparatively narrow and as crowded as a motorway fastlane. You're also assuming our guys were in the wrong. It's possible, on past performance, the Iranian RGs simply nicked across and lifted them for a cheap propaganda shot.
