The #DefenderEurope exercise #SwiftResponse provides a great opportunity to #train with our @NATO #Allies in Spain, and our sister component from @HQUSAFEAFAF, as seen here in their C-17 Globemaster III transporting #US and Spanish #Paratroopers.

I’m researching a book about Operation Colossus, the first time the #British used #paratroopers during the #SecondWorldWar.

I’d like to contact family members who may have letters, diaries, photographs, etc that veterans left behind. Even recollections of their stories.

If you can help, please DM me or email Russell@RussellPhillips.uk

Please boost to help get the word out.

After crooks steal the payroll from a military base, they hijack a plane and have to make an emergency landing after being double crossed, in a cornfield. After taking refuge in a nearby house to regroup, they realize something is wrong when during a fight, one of them is found to be eviscerated, his organs were replaced with cash, but he’s still alive. Soon these crooks will be fighting for survival when the scarecrows leave their posts. This is #Paratroopers aka #Scarecrows #horror #film #80s
