Colin Hamilton – It was good fun, I always volunteered

I always volunteered for everything, irrespective.

And I was good, I had a trip ashore with the SAS. First of all, the SAS lived in the mountains.

They’d come down for provisions every week and then they’d go off and wouldn’t speak to you. Anyway, they came down, picked a fight with the Intelligence Corps in the Mess.

Eventually they warmed the matelots and we got on very well with them and they were showing me all these different grips that they practiced.

They’re dangerous people to go ashore with, drinking 100 proof rum, but it was good fun.
