This should be an Olympic sport

Loved the Royal Tournament as a child and the field gun races were always the favourite. So sad to lose part of our history and traditions

Greetings 🦊🦊👌

This is the Whitest thing I have ever seen and it’s beautiful!

Such a loss to them and us. Seems to me qualities like physical strength, mental toughness and teamwork have had to stop in case a transgender breaks a fingernail and sues the MOD . God help us if a conflict develops into more than a pillow fight.

Traditions in this country are being ditched left, right and centre. Dis bloody graceful.

I go to cadets on whale island and every evening I look into the window of a drill shed and see there gun 😁

Lovely to hear and see my dad Tom Folley who sadly passed 18 years ago.He was passionate about the Field Gun

OMG "Nasty Neil Jones" what a Bloke! Had a Blast serving on Two ships with him Rest in peace, Fair winds and following Seas.

23:29 *that* is a pretty seriously screwed ankle and foot....

Pity about the wet limp-wristed commentary!

shame... having no idea what this brings to the nation.

Back when men were allowed to be men. It’s sad how UK society has degraded since 1999.

Absolutely brilliant M8.

I've visited Ladysmith SA which of course is what all this is about , go navy 👍the senior service 🇬🇧

P*ss poor excuse to blame operational ship's crews being depleted - a simple tweak of rules, i.e candidates only drawn from shore bases. They dont seem to mind guys protecting strawberry stalls at Wimbledon or guarding a wooden box outside an empty Buck House. Perhaps Trafalgar Night should be banned across the Fleet from all wardrooms, after all, it's only ancient history?

Did b crew 72 Fk massage What the hell

I used to be this fit....in my dreams

First Trainer Pat Patella, good guy first met him in 86 and 87 when he was battery staff and I was with Devonport as their medic and when he ran for Pompey in 87 also served onoard the Fearless, was then a world record holder with PFG until the final Tournament when Devonport broke their record. Totally dedicated

Thank you for posting 👏

Is it just Rumor or Myth that a team from Her Majesty’s Army won the compaction one year ? John

It's a travesty that this and the Royal Tournament ended.

9:55 saying goodbye to a great tradition from a smirking stupid old man. He doesn't understand, its these traditions that bond the younger sailor, but just because he's old and broken, doesn't mean you can remove it from the younger fit sailors. I hate old people making decisions for young people. Its usually wrong.

Loved the old field gun as a teen. Lee on Solent, Fleet Air Arm and the public runs. Great days.

11:23 Ricky Hatton?

When a country's military can no longer support tradition because of a government's decision the country is in trouble. II am a civilian here in the United States did not serve because of my disability period, but have always supported the military because my uncle served with honor in the US Navy. The UK has lost a piece of what makes the Royal Navy special when they decided to no longer fund the training for this event. I thought the British were all about tradition as much as progress. Looks like we guessed wrong

The BRITISH FABIAN ESTABLISHMENT destroying ENGLISH CULTURE bit by bit, the new agenda of "Diversity" is killing the ARMED SERVICES

When Britain was GREAT bring back field gun the Royal tournament and all our great traditions its as if this country forgets why British men and women have these events and organisations our nation should always be GREAT BRITAIN

Can only cry at the shortsightedness of the powers that be! Long live the crews!

I suppose you don't need men mountains to press buttons ?? God bless the Field Gunners !! Hardest 'sport',,ever !!

Premier League footballers should earn their respective fee's ,by not getting blown over in a tackle cheats should be eliminated from any competition

Although made by BBC SOUTH, surely this doc was broadcast across the entire country?. The quality of it FAR exceeds what one would expect from a purely regional show.AS for these men...GOD how bloody tough they ARE!. What a fantastic ,mesmerising programme, i was hooked on every minute.I have no naval or military connections (DO live in Aldershot though!)but , if this is still an expressable emotion, i am feeling SO proud of these wonderful BRITISH fighting men. It was just so THRILLING to watch and HOW i would love to see the RT return!. WELL DONE lads and, i am amazed to say given my normal opinion of them, well done BBC-albeit the BBC of 1999!.

At 20 50 what true words have ever been said shame no one listened in government to me we still run the gun even if its just in our minds and harts of oak

I was stationed at HMS Sanderling (RNAS Abbotsinch, Scotland) in 1962-63 as a junior rate, and the killick of the mess was a field gunner, Chips Rafferty was his name and he was the nicest bloke you could come across. A big man that did a good job keeping us juniors in line, and not afraid to get physical with anyone stepping out of line. Fond memories of that time and the years ahead in the RN and it's many traditions now sadly gone. My hat goes off to those that served the navy in the field gun crew no matter which port they represented.

The money the Royal Navy spends on virtue signaling could most likely pay for this.

What a fantastic display of strength, tradition and honor!!!

Women aren't robust enough to competition field gun. That's not sexist, most men aren't.

And anything war criminal Blair touches is damned

Anything good in this country is replaced by wokey soft shite

Thanks for sharing, my Grandad is the gentleman who is referred to as Tom Folley. He passed when I was 7 so being able to hear him speak meant a lot.

Thanx for the upload. Such a shame its ended

What a fanny at 09:56 - this was LEGENDARY when I was a wee laddie!!

Men of this calibre are needed, for what's coming, in the South Ch*@a Sea!

GO LADS! GO!!!

Im from the Colonies and served in Field Artillery. They got rid of this?! Whatever for?

I had the great privilege of watching this competition at Earls Court as a visiting performer from USA in 1979. For a solid month we did two shows a day and this competition was the highlight of each show. Its a shame that society finds the need to omit tradition in favor of profits. In time there will be little left of what makes us unique and proud of our heritage. Thank you all for the amazing training and display of speed and precision. Your hard work and skills will not be forgotten.

Always loved to see this on the TV when I was growing up. Shame it ended.

I agree 100% with everything he says especially about a weaker less motivated pussy society from 20:59 onwards to 21:17, he's totally exactly and absolutely right, you only have to look around you, that's Leftwing mollycoddling for you, no respect, no punishment for bad behaviour, no discipline, just let them go about their own business as Children bringing themselves up whilst parents are now thereto only pick up after them just in case the kids are in trouble and need help, don't interfere with them, it that exact they're in charge mentality that's got us to the crappy place in society's development and evolution, it's a bloody joke. Strong traditions, knowing your heritage, pride in ones country and history is what's good, discipline fir wrongdoings is good, praise for good deeds is right, mixed messages are wrong, good upstanding law abiding traditions are good, so be everything you can be, but also try to be the BEST of what you are.

I loved this as a kid growing up, watched it every year on the BBC, a massive highlight if the year in my house, always has massive respect for all servings personnel, my great grandfather was a gunner at a gun emplacement at one of the fortifications at Valletta in Malta during WWII, he was commentated for his bringing down Italian and German Stuka Ju-87 dive bombers aircraft, and he was medalled 5 times for different things from bravery to the shooting down of enemy aircraft and more. We've lost too much of our traditions in the UK and losing many more if our heritage too if we're not careful by allowing a small minority of anti military Leftwing Socialists hell bent on abolition of our armed forces, bloody fools, it's the reason we're free, fighting for us to be free, giving them to right to take this mental cause of action, and I'd say the same about to whom ever got rid of this centuries old tradition, and the Naval Mast Manning too, we need a focus to extend peoples understanding of what they sacrifice for us doing their job as soldiers sailors and airmen. Rule Britainnia 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧👍🏻

Blair's task was to do everything in his power to take down British tradition. He did his job aided by turds like Colin White in this film. Absolute wankers, the pair of them.
