The World’s Longest Kill | Sniper Craig Harrison
Craig Harrison is a former Corporal of Horse in the Blues and Royals. From 2009 to 2017, he held the record for the longest confirmed sniper kill in combat.
Transcript from ‘The World’s Longest Kill’podcast
Craig – I went down to teach in Pirbright for two years and ended up doing my course there. I ended up being an instructor.
Chris – So out of how many people rock up for these courses and how many pass them?
Craig – You can have about 30 on the course. You go through different fitness phases and then they weed you out. So you end up with either 10 on the course or 12 on the course. They hit you hard because as a sniper you’ve got to know you field crafts as well as your discipline. Being mature as well, as you’re shooting and everything’s got to be there. You’ve got to be the whole package really. It’s funny, my chief instructor was a marine down there.
Chris – What did you picture in your mind when you wanted to become a sniper?
Craig – Everyone’s got this idea you go out with a rifle, look through a scope and you shoot people. It’s actually to gather live information on the battlefield.

Old School Farang On Escaping Certain Death & Thailand Adventures
Paul Wallis has lived in Thailand over 30 years and is the author of, ‘The Essential Guide To Living In Thailand’.
Transcript from ‘Old School Farang On Escaping Certain Death & Thailand Adventures’ podcast
Paul – I’m with you on that one Chris. We’re on the same path to spiritual enlightenment, you and I yes definitely. Whereas Buddhism talks about reincarnation and I’m guessing people would probably take that literally. Like you know I may come back as a pig in the next life.
Chris – For me Paul it’s more that we’re all universe and we come from a unified field, we come from a unified source and we go back to source when we die.
Paul – Exactly so we can’t die and we’re always going to be here, that’s right. I have no fear of death and I’m sure you don’t either. I should tell you that I had an out of body experience once and it was very short. At the age of 21 I came off a motorcycle in Crete and banged on the ground. At the very moment I banged on the ground, I’m looking down on myself and the bike back wheel was going round. There was white exhaust smoke and the loud noise of the engine, because the throttle was stuck open. I looked at myself and I thought, wow I’m outside and then bang, I was right back.

Fairbairn Sykes Commando Dagger
Paul McDonald with the British Army, is the owner of Master at Arms and is a master sword maker. Specialising in all edged weaponary, we hear about the famous Fairbairn-Sykes Commando Dagger.
Transcript from ‘Fairbairn Sykes Commando Dagger’ podcast
Paul – I had to take that plunge and I started specializing in historically accurate swords and knives. That was the focus to start with and I didn’t have a a main product at that time. That certainly changed along the way as my interest grew. I became a bit more focused as well and it wasn’t until 2008 that myself and a good friend who was involved with the academy of arms, decided to start a world war two based living history group.
We focused on the original commando training, from the highland training centers and the close combat. It was quite evident that the the F.S. fighting knife, the famous commando knife was right at the heart of that too. So that led to a path of of a quite intense focus on that knife and to remake it again as accurately and as closely as the original world war two examples.

Transcript from ’42 Commando Royal Marines Battle For Mount Harriet’ podcast
Jeff – I spoke to a lot of the guys about it and they all thought it was an April fool. We didn’t believe they could have done it but they had and so we’re all fired up then to go. We should point out here it wasn’t a surrender, it was a ceasefire. The governor said, you know there’s no point, so he ordered the guys to put their weapons down.
We traveled down to union and had a couple of days to get ready. I remember getting all the kit and and checking everything was right. I wasn’t supposed to go to the Falklands, but being irritating, I went up to the company commander and said, look I want to go. He said look you’re on a senior command course and that’s important in your life. I said I don’t care, I’ve got to go.
