Gives a new meaning to "Close cover before striking", doesn't it?
 
Hmmmm YFC, I likely piddled on some of those bushes in the background. Great place to train, also to watch the big fights that went on in 79 between black and not so black units in the barrack lines.
 
Kinda makes me cringe a bit, as it reminds me of that stupid thing I did with the model rocket motor when I was a kid.
