Kandahar Reel

The Kandahar reel was written by two officers of The Black Watch, 3rd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland to mark the Battalion's operational tour in Afghanistan. Soldiers of The Black Watch made frequent use of Chinook Helicopters with their signature double rotor blades and they were often supported by American Army Black Hawk helicopters with a single rotor. The dance reproduces the use of these workhorses of the sky upon which the Army relies in Afghanistan.

The reel is danced to Mr Jamie Forrester's Kandahar Reel or the Auld Reekie Band's Speed the Plough.

How many tunes are in this? I know I've heard the first 2, but I don't recognize anything after that. Does anyone know what the tunes are?
