Smile Smile Smile Many thanks to Tug.Since for his fine effort.Since I spoke to Tug in the early days[last year] a bit more info has come to light.
The Orbat relates to Patrol Co.posting to Cyprus in 1972.May have found better copy.
The Para photo shows laughing Fred McFarlane ?on right<{seeing what Fred could do to livestock no one was brave enough to mention lack of smile, and he was fast on his toes!!]To left of Fred is Brian Freeman ??
may be wrong.
Jungle bunny BELL was a radio op and very covert,when your small and the trees are BIG you have to be careful!![Jungle may now be Counci Estate!!!] Come on the rest of 3 Para put pen to paper,it does not hurt and I bet you meet old friends.Sean Smile Smile Smile

No Nick, McLeod was the IO not the Adj and got a bullet though his hand,it was just the CO,IO & Pilot in the scout,when it made that emergency landing down in the wadi,the RSM (Arthur Channon) ran out to assist the CO and got shot 4 times by the same bullet!!!(through the left breast,then the right breast,into the right arm ending up in the left leg, so i was told afterwards)I last saw him sitting up on the stretcher being lugged back to the forward aid post,there's another story about what happened when he got there but i will save that for a later time.
Here's a picture of Capt McLeod on the left,do you see anyone else you remember?"D" Company orbat (Late 60s early 70s) Bahrain021

I think it is Gus McIntyre's Patrol, ex schoolie and ex 22. Paddy Phoenix (RIP) name forgotten, name forgotten I don't claim to have the best memory on the block and after all it wasnt just last week.
Re the marching troops I seem to recognise Joe Lyall, Self, Collins?, possibly Brian Chaffer, Derek Day and the moustache at the back (Pete G.)

Nick and Bill at Tundergarth, near Lockerbie. The building behind is housing the condolence book and the field next to it is where the cockpit landed, Pan Am flight 103. Taken 2006 Bill and his wife came up to Lockerbie to see me when I was back on a flying visit.
