Royal Navy Field Gun Competition 1998

Royal Navy Field Gun Competition 1998 at the Royal Tournament, Earls Court July 1998. Devonport vs Portsmouth

[@spendleton18]

I love watching this as I am there running, Devonport # 4 axle number. Best memories of my life! I cannot have more respect for all the guys who took part whether A,B or C crew, staff or support...they were all great guys and part of one of the toughest team sports in the world. Oggy, Oggy Oggy!

Thanks for posting... years of tradition just ditched by this Labour Government in 1999 when the Royal Tournament was cancelled. And for what reason??? The field gun competition was the "Royal Tournament" and anyone who went always said that this was the highlight of the show. Donny lad

I was there with my Scout troop and saw it live, it was really amaizing. Real shame that they cancelled it.

Its things like this like that makes me proud to be brittish and proud and honoured to have folks as determined as this in our armies. Takes my hat off to the boys

My mate Nige! Great bloke.

My Grandfather was in the British army during the Boer War and took part in hauling the guns with oxen I believe. He was 16.

[@Shasui17]

this was one of the few highlights of the year... but now look what do we have crap tv shows like BB talk about laming out

Just spent the last couple of hours watching the Field Gun clips and I have to admit it brought a tear to my eyes. If you want to see a 6ft Man grow 4 inches in height; train him to be a Field Gunner and get a Royal Marines band to play 'Hearts of Oak' at the Royal Tournament... From a Man of Air (81' & 94' staff) to all who participated and all those who supported the Royal Navy Field Gun competition, thank you. (Mac ex AEM & Phot)...

This is the most virulent disease known to man, I ran in 1974 and I'm watching this with shivers.

[@MrBonafida]

I take my hat off in great respect to any man who has ever done that! I bet we would show the yanks up.

[@Cowcharge]

Last time we competed in naval gunnery, you Brits had a bit of trouble showing us up (1812).

...Pretty sure having his scalp stapled back together would probably hurt less than whatever whack split it open. Even without the adrenaline.

[@Jabber-ig3iw]

Shame they now get cadets to do this with toy guns.

Why do we have to have that Dippy Woman commentating. It is obvious she hasn't got a clue what she talking about.
