How do Bob,

If you could take 5 mins to read the rules and regs here, that'd be fantastic. They can be found over on this link -> http://www.e-goat.co.uk/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=10

Hi you guys, Thanks for the welocome.

Yes I was at XI in '57/'58 for Grapple X and Grapple Y. Detonations were very sobering. something i don't want to see again. Was out there as a Cpl Tech on the JOC site, 19 years old at the time. Lot older now but still in touch with some of those chaps.

Cheers, Bob
