I must commend the photographers for taking their pictures so quickly. We all know CMPs don’t get stuck, and if they do, they are out of the bog very soon.

I was going to say 'Fake News' but then there is this... admittedly it is a F15 4X2, a bit ambitious trying to cross that water.

I suppose Aircrew are used to crossing water with ease. 😇 Bit trickier with their wings clipped.

Please note this Blitz IS NOT BOGGED. It is helping the Jeep to cross a stream as it started slipping once its front wheels were no longer on firm ground.

QJ = 92 Sqn RAF from May 1940 to 1946. As an aside, a number of Australians served with the squadron in WW1. One pilot is the only serviceman I have ever located that served operationally with all three services during that war - started with the RAN, transferred to the AIF, then to the RFC which then became the RAF. An extraordinary service history.
