Love that dry British stiff-upper-lippy humor!

The lads were likely in a good mmod now that they don't have to haul that damned heavy missile around anymore. At least the thermal sight on the launcher has other uses when nighttime perimeters are established.

In all, they've found that the Jav is a much better piece of kit that the old 45-pound-plus Charlie Gee recoilless antitank launcher. And if the troopies ever do have to take on a hostile tank, they now know that the missile/launcher combo works as advertised, and they'll have the confidence in it that leads to further success.
