Ian,

Good memories of 31 Platoon? ..... or not?

In looking at the video, I noted that not one of the pieces of equipment I recognized is still in service. But some of the diggers are, eh Ian?

Love the efficiency of the engineer's hand signals on the raft! I think I initially shocked a certain AFV owner/driver at W&P last year (2012) when he asked me to ground guide. I dredged the memory and gave him a set of the correct signals as per my Leopard drivers course. He looked visibly taken-aback, not expecting that from a civvie. After that, I had a job (and a ride!) for the rest of the time there.
