I can't decided if that would be my most scary moment or not.

Currently that is held by being sat on the bare earth in a temporary
air raid shelter made out of sand filled oil drums with 1" gaps
between them dressed in shorts and T shirt surounded by RAF ground
crew who had every scrap of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical suit on
that they had. You could see the fear in *their* eyes through the
full face masks...

This was out in Bahrian just before Gulf War I kicked off and Mr
Hussain was "test firing" missiles the direction and payload
(explosive/chemical) wasn't known.


Awesome story...
