Ahh.. Faslane. I spent a year based up there and pretty much hated every minute of it :lol:

No mate.. not life in that Faslane anyway :lol: I might add that at the time, I lived in Portsmouth and always filled out my 'Drafting Preference Card' under 'Areas to Avoid' as SCOTLAND. However, one had to live by the maxim 'You shouldn't have joined up if you couldn't take a joke' :lol:
In reality, I disliked my ex-wife (my then wife) as much as Faslane so I had a year in no mans land :agree:

Very lite..........less than 1k on disc.......in fact about 1k less than 1k

I've have a few saying they can't see it or even find it......but that's just down to the accurate modeling and dynamics :lol:
