Report from Michael Lycett.
This is a one off event for the unit.
Held by Mike Peacock of 25 pounder fame. The event was supposed to be held in Leeds to mark Her Majesties something or other, but due to the enviable organisational skills of Leeds city council it was held in a field next to a pub in a small village called Eccup. The idea was to fire a 21 round salute for the Lord Lieutenant of Yorkshire. We had been co-opted in to make up a short fall in man power. We had trained on the guns, sort of and I for one was full of confidence. Anyway we fired the salute and the Lord Lieutenant was mightily impressed and thought us all very professional. I thoroughly enjoyed becoming temporarily deaf, choking and blinded!!
