Looks like an HSF only meeting was Captain Mainwaring there? Very far from it! After the first 6 months ( when we got most of our kit )we could deal with any TA unit and a lot of others too.

This is the H Coy (HSF) 3 Yorks team at North East District Skill at Arms Meet, Wathgill, in 1988. I am second from the left. Wish I still had my SLR but all I got left is my cleaning kit!
