Hmmmm. Instead of this fabulous spectacle of British military finesse we are subjected to utterly pathetic reality TV programmes. Welcome to 21st century Britain. Fucking sickens me to the core.

Impressive stuff! Now I know why the old school Matelots refer to Brickwoods as 'Car Park Field Gun'

I know one of the only Wheelies who's still got 10 digits.
This is an exception example of Britain having talent.
Rule Britainnia

Talbot6832 you are so right....I wish we could have the 70s and 80s back, the Royal Tournament was amazing, I know I was there as a Royal Marine when they first had a laser show in 79...The other day I watched the xfactor or some such crap..it made me cringe. Makes me sad to see how Britain has fallen so far....how did we come to this...how did we come to this .

@Talbot6832 Bloody 'ell I could'nt agree more mate, spot on

Wow... quite impressing. Those guys are like a watch. Really impressive.
P.S.: the part when the gun is moved via ropes quite dangeroues, specially when it lands. I suppose there were some serious injuries in some of these competitions.

Anybody interested and paticularly ex Field Gunners The Fleet Air Arm Field Gun Association have their own Website, just google Field Gun to find it. Pompey & Guzz sites can also be entered from here. The site shows the history of Field Gunning and there is a "Members Area" where ex's stay in touch
how many rounds do they fire?, what are the different roles on each team and what does each one do?

Each running crew consists of 18 men, they all have very specialised roles (I'll try to get a more detailed answer posted soon). Three rounds are fired at the 'Enemy' at each action, so six rounds are fired by each crew during the run.
