Bodge Deep Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Yeah with the army issue fire extinguisher (in the foregrtound on the floor) what could possibly go wrong :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn deuce Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I m sure someone had to deal with those bloaters after the fire was out and things had cooled . Wonder if they simply shot them from a safe distance since at the time environmental issues weren't as important then , or some private had to open and drain them into barrels?

Bazz Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Talking about jerrycans, I can remember after an exercise in 87-88, we (QOY) ended up in a leaguer area just north of Newcastle. A member of SHQ who was a Sultan driver decided to refill a hot petrol cooker, with the inevitable consequence. All I could see from my troop locstat was a 'can flying over the top of the Sultan with a trail of flame from the spout that was still spewing petrol. Baz.
