Operation Garden Storm
19 Attachment(s)
Ladies and Gentlemen,
There now follows an official debrief on Operation Garden Storm... The original strike was scheduled to take place tonight. However, this was brought forward 24 hrs due to reports of unfavourable weather conditions for the planned start time (it's going to rain). Central Command (wife) gave authorisation to start operations early, although I had to finish my tea first. The following photographs were taken during the operation. The Battle Scene The main hole is marked by the yellow pointers on the top and left of the picture. http://img4.photobucket.com/albums/0...attleField.jpg Close-up of Battle area The white powder marks the hole position. This was from a previous unsuccessful chemical attack (Nippon) Attachment 59225 Close-up of Enemy Position Some activity was detected on close rece. This and subsequent pictures showed that the chemical attack had little or no effect. Attachment 59226 Attachment 59227 Attachment 59228 Attachment 59229 Staging Area Equipment was assembled and brought to a staging area ready for deployment to the combat zone. The equipment comprised of; 1) Petrol (BP Unleaded (96RON)) 2) Nippon Ant Powder 3) Sand 4) Small Stones 5) Soil 6) Trowels 7) Wooden Dole to stamp down the filling material Attachment 59230 Enemy Positions On close rece, two additional holes were discovered close to the main hole. These could be possible secondary exits and need to be closed off before the main assault. Attachment 59231 Attachment 59232 First Strike An early first strike was carried out to close off these holes. No wasp activity at these holes was noticed during this daylight operation. Still, can't take chances... Attachment 59233 Phase 1 After careful positioning of equipment the phase 1 strike went in. A mug full of BP Unleaded (96 RON) was tipped down the main hole and ignited Attachment 59234 I love the smell of Napalm. Smells like... victory... Attachment 59235 Actually, there was a strong smell of burning wasps.. not that nice really... Attachment 59235 Is this fire ever going to go out? Perhaps I should not have use so much petrol. Attachment 59237 Anyone got any burgers? Attachment 59238 Nearly out... Attachment 59239 Smouldering remains... Attachment 59240 The first phase showed that there was a barely concealed tunnel leading from the main hole to the secondary ones. This was also gutted by the inferno. Attachment 59241 Filled in After filling the holes with a mixture of small stones, sand and a topping of soil, the battle area has been returned to a level garden again. Attachment 59242 The Day After This morning a rece was performed over the battle site. Some wasps were seen trying to find a way in. These must have been out on patrol during the attack. There were finished off with a mk1 boot. No evidence of the enemy trying to burrow out was found. Once some more grass seed has been sown, you will never know there was a major battle here... Attachment 59243 At no time during the attack were any members of the coalition injured. I now open this up for questions. |
:D Brilliant :D

:notworthy
PMSL! That was worth waiting for! :D |
LOL! :D
Just one minor point though.... if half of that powder around the entrance had actually gone IN the hole they would have all been dead! |
Thats bloody funny :lol: :thumb:
|
Hehe, awesome :D:D
|
Awesome :D :D Nice Camera Work...

ajm,
The council woman said NOT to but it down the hole, but just around the entrance. I thought this was odd, but got over rulled. Still, ment I could do the job properly.. |

Nimbus, you don't live by this Focus store do you...?
Can't beat a daily dose of pyromania care of SN :D |
|
ChrisB, no... ;) I have a healthy respect for fire.
Chritst, I see what you did there... ;) |
There looks to be a huge amount of collatoral damage. You obviously deployed a daisy cutter by mistake
|
I tell you what, glad you have done this and posted up the results, i'm amazed it only needed a mugfull of petrol, I would have gone and chucked a litre down the hole for good measure :o Now know that a mugfull is enough for any future dealings and not to go blowing my garden up with a litre of petrol :D

LMFAO
this thread is class |
bit disapointed tho, i was expecting to see pics of you running about in the dark with loads of flying firebombs chaseing after you
|
B2Z,
While it was burning I was thinking.. Have I used too much? I'm sure I can hear it burning underground.. is it going to find a way under the garden and blow my house up? on reflection, I could have used more and let it soak into the ground first so that it got further down. I think the operation was a success though. Neil, The extent of the tunnels was greater that I first though. I needed to ensure that all the tunnels were filled in. Better safe than sorry :) |
i would have just poured a cannister of petrol down the hole, lit it and ran in the house and closed all the windows, and watched the nice lights lol
|
What, the blue flashing ones approaching your house?
|
Superb Thread!
Very entertaining:) Cheers. |
Outstanding mission soldier :thumb:
Jsut be careful with the petrol, local lad was badly burned doing similar at home. The vapour is the danger, it is highly volatile. Make sure all containers are well away from combat zone before "going in". If you could get hold of 1 of those bomb disposal "wheelbarrow" robot mounted shotguns that would be a blast of a different kind :) http://smilies.jeeptalk.org/contrib/...eemerwhore.gif |

Gave him a bit of a shock, but it was interesting to note that he would have been safer if had just put the top back on the container, plonked it down about 6 feet away and lit the fire immediately before the vapours could collect! Interestingly, they say 2 pints worth of evaporated petrol with a ready air supply has the equivalent power as a stick of dynamite! :D |
:D :D :D
Quality |
ahh no friendly fire! had this been in america................
|
Excellent thread!! :D :D
"Anyone got any burgers?" - PMSL :D |
