What benefit to the UK other than getting on the radar for potential arms sales? As I said earlier, in am sure the conversation was along the lines of 'you return to democracy and we will consider an exercise in the future' Thailand being Thailand do the usual rhetoric about how everyone understands why the army are in power blah blah blah.

RichardColeman Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I'm guessing there will be a brief call to the mayor of Pattaya to keep walking street open and as it is until the UK forces have spent their money and energy whilst on leave.

HHTel Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Quote Gen. Prawit stressed that the general administration of the government that attempts to maintain peace in the country by enforcing the laws strictly and equally,” Kongcheep said, “that we value human rights and are aware of giving people freedom of expression and participation to create the path to reconciliation, national strategy and reforming the country together. Oh yeah?? Quote Prawit’s trip to the United Kingdom was seen as likely to yield another weapons buy. Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said that couldn’t happen because acquisitions must go through a proper process that begins with evaluating the need. Submarines!!!???

Funny how the VC 10 on the UK - Washington DC - Belize run always packed up in DC on the return leg, especially in early December... Crab bashing - it's in the blood. I was a crabfat for 25 years and proud to be one too. It is only petty jealousy from the minor services, once again. The fisheards have 2 new carriers but nobody to crew them and no aircraft either, and as for the grunts, most of their tanks are in the museum at Bovingdon and event the Royal Signals have scrapped their most efficient unit. That of course was the White Helmets motorcycle display team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the early 80's we made a sign for the NAAFI bar that was inside the dockyard where we were refitting: No Ambition And F<deleted>-all Interest It managed to stay up for about 2 weeks. Not only did that upset NAAFI but it also led the MOD police to start an investigation as to where it came from. They never found out. Major sense of humour failure by the authorities but loved by the customers.................. Not sure if the RAF would find that funny though..................... That NAAFI meaning has been around since Pontius was a trainee pilot. I used to work behind the bar in the NAAFI at RAF Wildenrath, Germany in the early 1970s. Duty free beer, spirits were only sold as a double as they were duty free too, duty free fags though I had given up smoking in 1970 for the 5th and final time. Duty free petrol coupons that could be used at any BP gas station in Germany. Duty free vodka in the screenwash of the car as it never froze in winter.

TKDfella Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) Well apart from some comments here I just wonder if it includes the south. A few years ago I know the US forces held special training on terrorist strategies (an American friend of mine was involved...not secret). That finished a while back so I wonder if that would be on the table too. Edited September 16, 2017 by TKDfella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
