The Boys from Bahrain

First Gulf war video of RAF aircraft and crews based in Bahrain Ebay item number 230065313430

Copies of the full video regularly come up on EBAY for sale..All proceeds to service charities I believe, (See thread from Airborne Artist). I'm sorry but I don't have any editorial information about the video. I was however there in GW1 albeit across the water in Saudi, Working on an RSAF Sqn.

How dare H4H add a link to their web page on this vid.

This is a GW1 vid and H4H REFUSES to help ANY British SERVICEMAN/WOMAN that served BEFORE 9/11.

There is thousands of British Ex-Forces suffering from Gulf War Illness, and NO ONE in the UK government will do anything to help.

@ramson88 Much love to the Aussies, as well! You're still flying my favorite jet on this planet today,(at least until December) the F-111. I worked on them for years, and love that jet more than any other. Thank you, Australia, for keeping the pig flying for so long now. We'll always be allies.

@slothgoonies

I'm sorry Slothgoonies but you are mistaken. The guy in the front cockpit at 0.50 is Sqn Leader Gordon Buckley of XV Sqn. I was standing pretty much next to the camera at the time. I also have the original full size video tape and I've double checked...... its definitely Gordon Buckley. Perhaps you got the wrong frame on the clip?

0:50 that guy is my dad - flight LT mathew smith he is a pilot teacher now in RAF valley

@tombuckley2000 Remember him well. Nice bloke (most of the XV aircrew were). Hope he's doing well.

Oh, so they think the get out clause lets them off?????????/ I do not think so, be honest and Transparent, admit its wrong and do something about it!

@HelpforHeroesTV..There are alot of thinga apparently that you claim aren't your fault.

The one main thing that is your fault is the Fact that You Continue to dupe and con the British public into donating money to you in the Mislead belief that if they are giving to you then you use the money to help all Veterans from WWII to the present day. I've heard many people say to people collecting for other service charities that they had already given though H4Hs.

Do the right thing & OWN UP.

H4H covering it's own arse again with the Disclaimer below.. The British public is very soon to learn that the wool has well and truly been pulled over their eyes for the past few years..

Thank you please.. ;-)

We would just like to make clear that this video has not been uploaded by Help for Heroes but by a member of the public and is therefore not official indorsed by the charity. It was also up loaded over a year before the charity began.
