Posted on 9 March 20239 March 2023 by Chris Thrall

Paratrooper’s Run-Ins With Russian Special Forces, features Dave Hutchieson, who’s life story resembles an action movie script.

Paratrooper’s Run-Ins With Russian Special Forces

Dave Hutchieson is a former paratrooper and a satellite systems engineer. In his work over 100 countries, he has crossed paths with narcos, the Mujahideen, the CIA and Russian special forces. Escaping with his life on numerous occasions, Dave’s story reads like an action movie script.

Transcript from ‘Paratrooper’s Run-Ins With Russian Special Forces’ podcast

Dave – The house they put me in was right across from the secret police headquarters. They did that deliberately to try and intimidate people. At that time there was a massive drug problem with Escobar. What he was doing was, was flying aircraft from both Colombia and Venezuela and the planes were dropping drugs off the keys or they were Landing in Lakeland in Florida.

A lot of the aircraft didn’t have the range at the time, so they were landing on South Caicos, which was the next Island dock from Grand Turk. The prime minister of Caicos was actually getting money from Escobar for allowing these aircraft to land. So what happened was a guy called Barry Seal, he was an ex-green Beret and he’d been caught by the DEA for flying drugs in and out of Nicaragua. He was told that he had to work with the D.A or else he was going to go to prison.

The Downside Of Winning The Military Cross | Trevor Coult MC #304

Posted on 28 November 202228 November 2022 by Chris Thrall

The Downside Of Winning The Military Cross, features Trevor Coult MC, a Royal Irish Regiment veteran, awarded for bravery under fire.

The Downside Of Winning The Military Cross | Trevor Coult MC

Trevor Coult MC is a veteran of the Royal Irish Regiment and has served all over the world. Reaching the rank of Colour-Sergeant, he was awarded the Military Cross for fighting off enemy who had
ambushed his convoy in Baghdad. Trevor survived eight bomb blasts and 76 enemy engagements during just three of his ten operational tours. After providing security for Prince Harry, Trevor was diagnosed with PTSD and forced to leave the British Army. His nine service medals include the US Presidential Seal. Read all about Trevor’s tumultuous life in his book, First Into Sangin.

Transcript from ‘The Downside Of Winning The Military Cross’ podcast

Trevor – I only found out I got the award in September. The patrol I was on in Baghdad at the time, I didn’t think anything different. We do that stuff in Baghdad, day in day out, but I never accepted it if I’m going to be honest. I was sitting beside my two OC as a session Commander, when a motor landed behind and took off half his head and he died. That happened the day before, so whenever I found out on the 7th, it didn’t really hit home.

I just ignored it and I didn’t tell anyone because we were grieving and you don’t rub everyone’s face in it. I was attacked non-stop because of that, from people saying, I didn’t deserve it. They identified every round I fired and where my rounds went. It doesn’t matter if it’s the whole magazine spraying, if they’re not hitting anything, they shouldn’t be on a patrol.

Chinook Crew ‘Chick’ | Liz McConaghy RAF | Bought The T-Shirt #299

Posted on 31 October 202231 October 2022 by Chris Thrall

Chinook Crew ‘Chick’ features Liz McConaghy who is an RAF veteran & served with a Chinook Crew over twelve deployments in Iraq & Afghanistan.

Chinook Crew ‘Chick’ | Liz McConaghy RAF

At 21, Sergeant Liz McConaghy was the youngest Chinook crew person to see action, serving in Iraq. She was the longest-serving female Chinook aircrew member on 18(B) Squadron. Liz completed two tours of Iraq and a further ten deployments to Afghanistan. During her deployments, she survived not only a near fatal strike onboard her CH47 and numerous enemy fire contacts, by returning fire from both the M134 Minigun and M60 weapons. Her biggest honour of all her duties, was serving on the Medical Emergency Response Team. (MERT) This involved recovering wounded soldiers from the battlefield, often under fire. She was also on the last 1310 Flight deployment in Afghanistan, as the British forces withdrew.

Transcript from ‘Chinook Crew ‘Chick’ podcast

Liz – I did two diployments to Iraq when I was twenty-one and I was the youngest air crew to go to Iraq. Then I went to Herrick in 2005 and did 10 Herricks, but unlike the army or the Marines would have done six month tours, we only did three months because we had to keep our currencies back here in the UK. So we did three months at a time but because of that it meant it came every freaking year, so it was relentless. I should have bought property out there because you know I spent that much time over there.

Transcript from ‘Battle-Scarred To Bushcraft’ podcast

Nick – One of my other roles was to drive a light-skinned Land Rover or a Jackal, which was one of these new-age fancy 6.8 liter super turbocharged engine things. The only downside is that and Land Rover had about this much armor, just two doors armor plated, doors strapped on that finished about sort of shoulder height and that was it. The rest was just, take your chance you know. You’re rolling around in a wadi with a 50 cal barrel inches behind your head.

Whilst trying to secure free passage for British citizens in Afghanistan, he was taken for questioning by The Taliban and held for six months. Here is an exclusive update on events.

Transcript from ‘S015 War Crimes Unit Investigate The Taliban’ podcast

Anthony – I’ve decided to go public with this investigation for one objective, is to and draw a light on what’s actually happened in Afghanistan. Obviously the Taliban is an umbrella organization with a lot of tribal elements and people who fall under that. The person in question has been ill-treating and beating British nationals and a very large number of Afghan-British dual nationals.

There are over 700 British passport holders in Afghanistan, who are stuck there. There are also hundreds of N.G.O.’s operating there. Ahmed Zaire is trolling and searching through social media networks to identify former British and American Service Personnel.

Veteran Paratrooper Held Hostage By The Taliban | Anthony Stephen Malone #287

Posted on 16 August 202231 October 2023 by Chris Thrall

Veteran Paratrooper Held Hostage By The Taliban, features Anthony Stephen Malone who was helping British nationals escape from Afghanistan.

Veteran Paratrooper Held Hostage By The Taliban | Anthony Stephen Malone

Transcript from ‘Veteran Paratrooper Held Hostage By The Taliban’ podcast

Anthony – The problem any country is going to have, is who’s going to want to invest in a country where it’s not stable. The security situation is deteriorating, the economy is deteriorating as well. The Taliban were telling the Chinese that everything has been okay. The Chinese promised a large amount of money which was hundreds of millions, to be given to The Taliban. A small amount has changed hands but a lot of it has not.

Everyone’s just pulling back the actual reins and watching what happens. There isn’t just the Chinese who are interested in the natural resources in Afghanistan. You’ve got the Americans, the British and other European countries all trying to talk to the taliban.

Transcript from ‘Beating The Bombmakers’ podcast

Chris – You go into your twelve months at Sandhurst, where you spend a couple of years as a non-commissioned officer. So in my case I sort of reached my ceiling at lance-corporal. Sandhurst was the only way I hit. After that I wanted to carry on my career and then you could go right the way through the ranks, which we call a late entry commission. Those guys just do a couple of weeks obviously, because they don’t need to to do much longer. There’s not much they need to be trained in, but in terms of when you get there, you’re sponsored by one of the regiments.
