Didn't they get one on the Exocet that sunk the Belgrano on the Falklands war?
Or is that just folklore?

The Stags has a posh room????? Posh must be a relative term, meaning absence of a mummified cat, but appreciate things may have changed somewhat over the last 40+ years.

The club stopped the awards when someone got one on a satellite, although I have to say in LEO at times there must locations further away on earth!

 

[yrammy]

When I say posh room in the stags i mean the 'other' room really.

Unlikely as that's factually incorrect.
An Exocet is a French made missile used by the Argies in the Falklands War. The French I believe continued to supply them during the conflict. If so - twats

The General Belgrano, an Argentinian ship was sunk by one of our UK Nuclear Submarine - Torpedoes.

The HMS Sheffield was sunk by an Exocet missile, but it's unlikely even the BEC could get a sticker on an Argie missile !!

(Grins) - thanks alexchien. (Maybe I got mixed up and the sticker was on a torpedo instead. But never let the truth get in the way of a good story  )

I remember One was found inside R Carter's drysuit zip after a long dive in the Doux De Coly; he swore it wasn't there when he set off in. On the same trip I found one on the upper surface of the sun visor in the car one morning; it'd been locked all night.

After a Matlock raft race one Boxing Day, a load of folks got changed in my house in Cromford and there it was found later in the day, JRat had stuck one inside the toilet bowl!

 

[Pegasus]

Anyone got a photo of one? - I have somewhere but darned if I can find it 

 

[Slug]

I got a mate to put one on a 1000Lb "Paveway" Laser Guided Bomb that was dropped onto a Scud Missile site in the first Gulf war.

I managed to get one on to a Russian Air Force Sukhoi Su 27 Fighter jet, a Canadian F/A 18, a USAF A10 none of whom minded at all......... and Licestershire Police helicopter..... who had a total sense of humor failure....par for the course with them. 

 

[Pitlamp]

That's pretty impressive Slug!

One was placed on the fold back speaker at a Mike Harding concert at Bedford Corn Exchange back in the late eighties.
There was also one under the desk of the Chief Executive of Bedford Borough Council.

J rat placed one on the submersible pump that is resident a minus 180ft in the Water Grove Engine shaft at wardlow mires.
He placed it on the pump as we lowered it into position.

Talking of the raft race Dickie, in the late 70s I took this picture by pure change. Years later I joined the TSG and this had been their raft!

Buster , Bob Grimes and Rich Bartrop are there

Is bottom left the late Keith Joule (as he was later known)?

It is.

Dave Watson is wearing the grey wooly hat but I don't know who the white bobble hat belongs to.

Late 1970s might be a bit early for this photograph, more likely Boxing Day 1981 or 82. Bob and Richard weren't members of the TSG in the 70s.

[yrammy]

Mark you are correct, I thought it was when I was at Matlock college but thinking again it would after I left and beofre I joined the TSG in mid 80s.

Agree with you Mark re date; thanks for posting that.
