oxo 384 Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 Absolute top bloke, my mate served in 2 para with him and back in 2005 we took a bunch of rough council estate kids we were doing youth work with on the plane down to Bristol. Billy picked us up in a mini bus and firstly took us to his house, photos of him with Tom Cruise and Tony Blair etc there. Then he took us to porttrallis? The sas training grounds, he was in charge of B Company at the time. 4 other sas lads also gave up there weekend for the lads. They shot a couple of roe, and pheasants that the lads skinned and ate, took them on quads,showed them the killing room, and how to make bashas that they slept in. The training grounds had a full size jet they practised terrorist attacks on etc and cars all over riddled with bullet holes. Billy took us all into the base at Hereford and it was covered in memorabilia from the embassy, Iraq etc. He gave a great talk to the kids telling them he was just like them as a youngun, one of the lads joined up soon after. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
