I was in Bessbrook Mill east of where you were. At the time 1991, it was the busiest heliport in the world.
Or so we were told, but then again it was the only way to travel to Crossmaglen and such places.
Often think I’d like to go back and visit but being in Japan, not all that easy.
Sorry Frank about hijacking your thread.

No problem with reminiscing, did 2 years there as residential Bn from ballykinler 2nd Bn, and 6 months in X later with 1st Bn I am trying to recall the name of the camp and shooting range that was on the coast. Had to visit there several times to do the (towits test) annual shooting test. Can you remember Frank?

This is coming along fast and furious, not to mention the highest quality! Way to go Frank! I also love reading about all the personal experiences of people who's memories are brought back by this.

Found the correct 2 tone for wessex and pumas, quite a bit of work finding the correct colour. Rather then gray and green🤔.
