Command Field Gun Race - British Military Tournament 2010

The first round of the Command Field Gun Race at the British Military Tournament 2010.

This race features two teams of students from Wellington College and hence running a half-scale replica of the 12 pounder field gun used in the original competition.

These lot are crud compared to the performances in the 90's! All the coloured participants who couldn't care less I presume.

@skeamz89 If you take the time to read the description you'll find that they're student teams from Wellington College i.e. 17-18 year olds. Yes they run with a smaller gun, but it's in the spirit of it.

No need for racism either - keep it to yourself.

I am the number 12 on terrible side, this good! x

@Butcher2WIN Excellent job! I'm bloody jealous, I would love a go at the Command Race. I've competed in the RN Junior Leaders competition for the last two years (a scaled-down version of the Brickwoods), but want to sling it over the chasm!

@skeamz89 some 17 yr olds managed to get all that kit over a wall, over a chasm twice and thorugh two walls with 15,000 people watching their every move in under 5 minutes. You can suck my plums until you can say you've done that.

Nice to see the Brum-Swing in action (my Dad began this technique).

A noble performance.
