On Exercise in Sardinia with 41 Commando RM leading a patrol back to base I spotted a USMC Helicopter base and thought, “Why not?” So I led my men in and asked. The USMC General running it called one of these from an off-shore Carrier and it flew us back, it was only 8 kilometres! The base was in air-conditioned Port-a-Cabins which had power, running water and Coca Cola Machines all lifted ashore, you could not make it up! You can drive Humvees into choppers.
