Just watched the end of it now,fair do's we don't know the half of what's going on out there,very very brave men/women.

Really good program too,I thought at first it would just be brewer explaining how the machines operate from the "safety" of the basecamp but fair play for going up with them in the chopper and nearly getting stuck in the middle of the afghan desert!!!!

Tottally different to what i thought it would be and the look on his face says it all cant imagine what they go through
that pilot huge respect
then you see footballers earning 270K+ for kicking a bag of wind about rolling on the floor crying when they get tapped on the leg
although i dont agree with sending people out their to have a look or do tv progs
they got enough to do keeping them selfs safe
