Sorry but if this doesn't convince more lads of joining the RM., I don't know what will

 

Would've been funnier if he'd tried to salute the head honcho spectating

 

I liked the way he had his own special caravan to go into
A new RM advert perhaps? Coming in on jet packs.

That would be utterly, utterly awesome; sans the saluting! Ha

 

Is the rocket guy sporting a hipster beard?
Good stuff though. Back when I was a boy we were promised that we'd all be travelling like that by the year 2000.

 

Here we go, it's now gone mainstream. BBC news Tweeted the Commandant for permission to use it and it's hit the press: https://metro.co.uk/2019/01/18/rock...base-8360369/?ito=article.amp.share.top.email

Also on youtube:

 

I am still in awe of it.
Wonder will this be standard kit soon

 

Whilst most of us are thinking wow that looks cool. I can imagine most trained ranks only thinking "*text deleted* me how long is that going take to strip and clean?"

 

I'm particularly impressed with his precision landing on the top of the six-foot wall.

The physics look fascinating too. The bloke must have arms like Popeye to control the directional jets.

 

I too was impressed at the precision.
And when he levitated from the pool across to the wall.

The fact he had some sort of individual caravan was also pretty amazing. Like he was a secret weapon ready to be unleashed. I so hope this is turned into an advert of some sort ?

 

Mildly disappointed that while in the final hover he didn't salute Colonel Tanner.

His truck looks like a converted horse box.

 

Imagine a salute with a jet on his hand! He'd cartwheel off into oblivion!

 

Gosh, never thought of that.
