The work out in Bosnia when I got out
was part of the World Food Program
because the infrastructure of the country
There's no infrastructure left.
There was various elements of the Army,
you know, the RAF
and things like that,
And then there were civilian police out
and stand up the police force again,
stand up, normal society up again.
Because society had fallen to bits,
animalistic state
You know, one community was trying to wipe
Right.
So that, you know, in what the,
the ops to stop that. So
out there, we had the World Food Program,
and yet it is normally,
civilian aircraft that flew,
the, the food around,
right, with civilian aircrew and retired
So they, they flew the, the food around.
And when they couldn't in inclement
It's the Air Force pilots.
The Royal Air Force pilots are the Army
that will take on the tasks because
people go hungry in bad weather as well.
So say so, then take the
of the the whole of the country.
You know where there was nothing,
reach these helicopters had to reach
people didn't go hungry.
And if the mission was to stop them
then the airforce have to come to the mark
It was as simple as that.
World Food
They not only did they
that also brought the fresh produce
Fruit is a commodity.
That's, you know,
you can live on ration packs,
but when fresh fruit comes along, it's,
simple things in
a you look at it and you,
you think it's more than an apple.
Just to bite into something like that.
That's fresh.
Right?
It's, that that that's the sort of thing
Fresh food, fresh water.
We take things for granted
that, you know, it's
They were taken around delivering
where everything had fallen
They relied on
that quantity of food to,
so that
it also made you feel
that he was there
for the good of mankind.
You know, here we are, trained
aviators, soldiers, sailors.
This is the humanitarian side
not trained to.
We trained for,
war, but we use those skills
to bring in the humanitarian side
And most of our work in the armed forces
If that's the way to combat
the world problems, then so be it.
And it's it's a good way to do it.
And it's to see the look on
when they are in dire need of help.
That.
You can read.
It is
so fulfilling that
you've made that happen,
Never individual out there.
Your team. Yeah.
And when you realize
that you’re that element in that team,
then you know
it's worth doing all the time
and that, you know, you don't need an
to nominate people to do that.
There's enough volunteers in our ranks
