C – Richard, how are you mate?

R – Great, thank you very much indeed. Yourself?

C – Yes, everyday is wonderful. Where in the world are you? Are you in Goodwood now?

R – No, I’m in Salisbury in Wiltshire, where my family home is and we’ve been based here for quite some years now.

C – Okay, so what’s the connection to Goodwood? Is that where you kind of test your equipment?

R – Yeah, we were just there yesterday setting up a new training rig for people who want to come along and learn how to fly one of these jet seats. We’ve done the festival of speed there, and actually we shot a really cool film that should be going out nationally in the next couple of weeks…

Chris and Angelo

C – Angelo how are you brother?

A – I’m good Chris, how are you? Thanks for having me on.

C – My pleasure, I see you got your dress shirt there in the background.

A – Yeah my slave uniform right there, when I worked for the military industrial complex.

C – We call that our ‘blues’ in the British marines, is it the same there?

A – Yeah the dress blues yeah.

C – It’s interesting you say that because I’ve just recorded a wonderful podcast with a chap who works for an organisation called Veterans for Peace, and from what I can tell it’s veterans who can see through the Military Industrial Complex. People like yourself and myself can obviously see there’s a better way than rampaging around the world bombing people to make the likes of Tony Blair and George Bush richer and more powerful. I don’t get it right, obviously the military has become something now you can’t criticise…

Chris and Richard

C – Richard, how are you mate?

R – Yeah good thanks Chris mate, thanks for having me on.

C – No, it’s an absolute pleasure. I was a bit thrown because I went to your website and the last time I went there it was Team Rubicon, and now it’s Operation React, and for these ageing braincells it threw me a little bit! So that’s to do with our cousins across the water is it?

R – Yeah Team Rubicon UK was a franchise of something that started in the States a few years ago. In America they’ve got a huge organisation, very capable but it does a different thing to what we do here, it’s just time to rebrand the brand around what we do here around our British values, how we operate around the world and to show we’re now an English or United Kingdom operation, that’s why we’re now RE:ACT …

C – James, how are you Sir?

J – Good thanks Sir, always good to speak to a fellow bootneck, and finding out another one of us has made it onto the online and media industry.

C – A meagre foray I think you could say but it’s all exciting stuff. I have to say I’m really honoured James, I really am, for so many reasons, least of which is the work you’re doing to protect wildlife. I was just watching one of your videos there with the lions. I’ve lived in China and the odds are stacked against these beautiful creatures…
