I have updated the exact location of 53bn.

Rooibaard, that brings back memories. I was in E Company, 1980 down at the bottom near the river/ammo dump

I was based in Ruacana from Oct 1980 to April 1981 and everytime the guys let loose at the airbase, we had to fall into the foxholes (ours was a massive big hole dug underneath the foundations of an old house

The mortars would let loose from our side and I remember also the first night almost loosing control of my bodily functions.

At the end the mortars (which were about 30m from our tent) could fire as much as they liked, they did not wake me anymore

Right chaps,

I have finally found what I was looking for (unlike U2 )

it is worth watching start to finish...


Especially the Magnus and Pik bits...



Enjoy...

As it is pretty quiet up here...

I thought I'd post an obtuse reference to 5 Signals regiment from the

Days of the Generals By Hilton Hamann where the general refers to the EW guys' role at Cuito Cuanevale...

You should read the whole section on Namibia - scanned pages 66 and 67 and found some good references, without too much sensitive stuff coming out (the SANDF still uses the same "Official Secrets Act" that was used by the SADF to control sensitive info - a case of don't change a "good" thing?)

If you're on Facebook, search the usual Border War keywords - we seem to have a small ex-BRUSH group forming there.
