Strewth, the second and third send a chill up my spine... There may not have been people in there at this call, but these guys would never know I suppose...

I have a very deep respect for those prepared to risk their lives for others...

Cool shots mark.

It also appears the gatton firecom repeater is back up for me, they must have been repairing it or something.
