Where is he now? 10th Anniversary of the Baron of Castleshort

[Mike Barton]

You do realise that QSOH is probably less realistic than Emmerdale?

That's interesting. I didn't realise that, it did seem to be a genuine account (with a few embllishments of course but what old soldier hasn't spiced up the odd story?).

Is it actually QSOH you are referring to or the McAuslan stories?

The area of the US where you came in is highly agricultural so there is a pretty big concern about "exotics" being inadvertently brought in.

It was also the time of the Mad Cow thing over here, of which US authorities were very wary.

Hmm, just as Redshift allegedly moves to Oz. Coincidental?

Only 7 people on here have actually served, and 4 of those do not actually give a feck

Yeah, exactly. If it got the bloke a quick peel and polish off some mucky little Chiquita, fair play to him. Thats what I used my service (well, both services I suppose) for. As long as he gets his round in and doesn't pretend to be anywhere when I was, good luck to him.

I'm surprised the Australian authorities allowed him in the country. I must pass this on to colleagues there.

Love the over compressed header images and especially the one that has been cut and pasted into a white background leaving lots of artifacts, very professional

I think the Australians have been aware of Jimbo for some years now..

Trained by a baron and backed by Bambi, now West Papua 'freedom fighter' faces jail

Combine a wannabe freedom fighter, a Ukrainian paramilitary training camp, a tumbledown weatherboard house near Melbourne, an Irish ''baron'' and a man in a Bambi suit - and you end up with something that would not look out of place on the storyboard of a Hollywood comedy.

Three of the funniest threads ever seen on arrse centered on Baron Castleshort, Caubeen & Frank Swann respectively. I often wonder what became of the latter pair.

I don't think they are based anywhere down here . Notice how it says "IBA South Pacific" rather than "IBA Australia" and very little to no information as to where the training is held. The only reference to Australia is a PO Box in Queensland (PO boxes tend to be part of Jimbos modus operandi). Buggered if I know how he's going to train people in the Bodyguard Ski Course up there.

He's probably sitting on an abandoned island out in the South Pacific acting like a tin pot dictator after being rendered homeless after his castle burnt down. I think he's aware of the ongoing ARRSE interest in him as shown by the following entry in this rather badly built website.

EDIT: Hahaha, it seems that the website has been inundated (probably due to it being posted here) and it's maxed out its bandwidth. Anyone want to throw in a few sheckels to Shorty so he can upgrade his web package? Didn't think so.
