My Dad was in Para Sigs 216 at this time, I can't see him here, but does anyone know Chris Kelly-Rutherford 'KR'.

bloke at 00:46 is Al Joy. Sadly now dead

@kjean1965

thats why the write up says ' #4 LATE AL JOY RIP',

[kjean1965]

@ronny2scoots sorry, I should have read the text. I knew Al Joy....were you in 216?

[ronny2scoots]

@kjean1965

No problems mate,

yeah I was Airborne REME. With 216 from 98 to 2000 when I left and they moved to Colchester.

Couldn't remember any other names after Al's.

[kjean1965]

@ronny2scoots I was at 216 aswell. I knew Al from Germany though, Herford, b4 he went to the Sqn.

is that stu archer at 0.04??

[ronny2scoots]

@10trains

I can't remember that blokes name at all mate,

[10trains]

@ronny2scoots ive listened to the voice its definitely stu archer. he was A troop staffy in the mid 90's at aldershot montgomery lines. cant believe he was still in 2 years ago must have extended his service or moved into the TA as he would have done his 22 by 2008. cheers tomo

[ronny2scoots]

@10trains

I very much doubt he was still in 2 years ago, that's when I uploaded the vid. As it says in the first line of the write up, the jump was shot in about 1999, it was one of the last I did before leaving in 2000 and they moved to Colchester. I was REME with 216 from 1998 to 2000

@ronny2scoots that explains it then. i left in 97. great days but all good things come to and end

[banjo2513]

keep your motuh shut unless told to speak, dont volunteer for anything and get fit before you go. Do this and you'll be fine.

[Zildjiann]

@banjo2513 Wise words.
