I've only ever seen our American cousins do this sort of thing before (and it has to be said, they do it very well too) ;) Nice to see someone else having a go. :) One can only imagine the amount of hours drill practise it took to get to that point though. Not my cup of tea.. drill that is. Sailors do lots of things very well but I can't say drill is one of em :lol:

Quite liked it myself as well. I've seen the USMC Silent Drill Team and the US Army Drum and Bugle Corps in person (and much more impressive in person than on video). It's nice to see other country's similar units in action as well. I've seen some of the RAF, RN, and Royal Marine video from that same event (anyone known the name so we can go waste more time on Youtube? :) ) and it's very impressive, especially working in such a confined space.

Also, did anyone else recognize the last song played, "Moment for Morricone"? You might be more familiar with it in this context.
