(RG) It’s a shame that these men didn’t get the homecoming they wanted, anyone who reads this Blog will know my feelings on the MOD and its shoddy treatment of our servicemen, but I am thinking like a soldier here. After the Falklands War was finished, we were made to clean the Falklands Islands from top to bottom although many of us were suffering from acute dysentery. We were one of the first units in to theatre with 3rd Commando Brigade and the last to leave. We left the Islands by a North sea ferry to Accention Island, before flying back to RAF Waddington. I got of the aircraft alone and went back to camp and got totally shit faced. My point is they were brought home by what ever method unlike some that will never see home again, they should be grateful for that as we are grateful for their service. But the MOD needs to seriously update its fleet of transport aircraft.
