    Great show I thought,RTE can do somthing right:p

    That Mary Kennedy one had a new dress on every time the camera was on her:D

    It got a good response from the people I know who had thought it was a waste being over there.They have a certain respect for the Army now and the work they are undertaking over there.

    Haven't watched it yet, have it Sky +'ed to watch with my husband when he gets back from Chad - either May 26th or June 9th depending on which chalk they put him on. Counting down the days!

    Well the Nationwide programme talked to an Air Corps person in Chad and then showed some footage so?

    Hi all, I was on the 1st trip to Chad...lovely place!!....no, we do not have any Air Corps pilots flying any helicopters in the mission area. However we do have Air Corps personnel liasing with the Ukranians in an Admin role, these personnell are basically the "link men" between the Military and Civilian contractors that work within our mandate.
