Royal Marines: Nothing is impossible (1980, 35mm)

Something different from the usual stuff I post.....This is a rare film from the MOD and Imperial War Museum that I haven't seen available on KZbin. So here it is. And its superb, especially the acting ;-)
-----
Recruitment film showing the work and training of the Royal Marines, "the Navy's soldiers", showing Basic Training at Lympstone, combat training, Passing Out Parade, ski training in Norway. The film is bookended with a dramatised scenario in which Commandos attack a radar station in Norway "captured by the Soviets" and return it to Western hands.

I carried a GPMG through 2 tours in both Sabah & later in Sarawak Borneo back in 1964/5/6 and again in 1967 for the final withdrawal in Aden…great memories from so long ago…Jock Donaldson Recce troop 42 Commando..now very happily retired in Torrevieja…

[@John-mg9df]

If I’m not mistaken, Cpl Clarke on the rifle range for a few seconds. He was my section corporal, whilst I was going through training with 100 troop. Really good instructor and a decent guy.👍👍👍

[@columbmurray]

Pringle had his legs blown off by IRA car bomb. I served in the Corps in the 60's , 65 Commando Course. Many thanks for this

[@wor53lg50]

Another plastic septic plank who knows absolutely jack shit, and gets its history from tik tok

[@wor53lg50]

Just like macaroni's legs when McVeigh parked his van then...you fake plastic septic jocks dont realise how cringe your ancestors feel about you and how much they're starting to dislike you aswell , maybe you should stop getting your history from tiktok..

USMC here, we trained with the 42 Commando in Norway in 1982 (Operation Alloy Express) and when the exercise was over we flew choppers back to our ship (USS Guadalcanal LPH 7), then headed back to their base at Portsmouth or Plymouth (can't recall which city. We hit both) more training, then a field day where we played Rugby against a beast of a team and had our asses handed to us, lol. Afterwards that night they threw a big party with great food and drink then back to their NCO club for more drinks/beers. & singing songs. One helluva tough unit and a group of great guys. ~Shep, Golf Co 2/2 USMC.

I am so glad I found the film and put it up; because there are some great stories being shared. Brilliant 👍

[@auxiliary4023]

Lol, the NATO HQ was CTCRM minus the two gunmetal cannons we polished as nods..

[@craigdooley1116]

Have never seen this at all. My troop is seen going through Peters Pool although I am not one of them. I was in training in 1978/79. Great picture of the Adjutant on horseback on the pass out parade. Horseback no longer

[@HoofinBob]

Those were the days .... Sgt KJ Mitchell DL at the 10:25. He really loved me ..Not! PMPT

[@thegoat11111]

1.27 So that's where they got the idea for Barney the dinosaur.

[@robertmoyse4414]

There was a brilliant recruiting film made a few years earlier - maybe 1975? It would be great if you could find that one!

[@james_nash]

I will make a note and see if I can dig it out 👍

[@vmax42dave]

I've searched every where..its the one with the Planet Suit sound track @@james_nash

[@wor53lg50]

​@@james_nashwhy you taking my replies down, and why are you fake plastic septics always trying to sow dissent and division......the Irish, welsh and Scots are starting to hate you for it...

[@alien4422]

Everybody get ready we're going in. Not you Prince Edward stand fast. 😂

[@james_nash]

😂😂😂

[@JosephDent-qd9ih]

I'm American marine.

[@davebarber9510]

You as us are trained to a high standard and I joined in 84 we knew our enemy and we were trained accordingly ( and trained to kill from a distance preferably but also trained for CQB But nonetheless taught to extinguish a life from 16 years onwards I will never forget what I learned and am always prepared to use the skills I learned to protect myself and family Let’s be nice to each other and avoid the worst that certain situations will bring out in lots of us ex soldiers you can’t untrain what was drummed in

[@grahambarber2766]

​@@davebarber9510 Dave, same surname and cap badge, I joined February '86. Hope you're doing well Royal.

[@wor53lg50]

Are you not embarrassed for your country folk who spout such bollox like colombmurry?, dont you realise your own ancestors on both isles are beginning to despise you for it?... Its cringe and they're supposedly septic patriots, they very confused ones dont you think...

[@vmax42dave]

Mr Pringal.

[@wor53lg50]

Take no notice, he's a septic plastic jock thinking its clever because he learns his history from tik tok, when in reality he just comes across as a complete and utter clueless idiot, real scots don't want anything to do with fools like him, and we dont claim them as one of our own either... Just like real taffs and paddys dont either, in fact they beginning to hate them more for stirring the sh!t and trying to keep the dissent and division going...

[@michaelingram8056]

Why are senior officers incapable of moulding a beret? It's not difficult.

[@user-mu6sr6ve4d]

Maybe they don't cut the lining out :)

[@thegoat11111]

Uppers classes, they have to ask their nannies to do it.

[@Lemonscreech539]

It’s where they keep their emergency rations… normally a Cornish pasty. However, calling them forty-two and forty-five commando… blue on blue incoming!!!!
