Why bring this back up again? I think it is a sore subject and doesn't need to be revisited.

Really cannot see the point or indeed attraction to these 'specials' unless you have been part of the Unit to which they refer, e.g. maybe would mean something to someone who is ex Sea King aircrew etc. Just don't get it - someone goes and buys one of these yet might never have sat in a Sea King?
