It was one of the best military key work: The Royal Marines team singing the sides of two Apache guns to return to the body, IL / CPL Mathew Fod. A single flight pilot affected an affected aircraft tells the amazing story as part of a podccast podch series.
Tom O’Malley, says: “You will never come into the thought that I will never fail,” said Tom O’malley, who was once a helicopter.
“I entered that situation I think I will definitely succeed and succeed.”
On January 15, his purpose was clear: Finding IL / CPL Ford, from Whingham Elincolnshire, who was lost after Jugroom Fort, the position of Taliban, in Helmand.

When the war stopped, Tom – to rotate over Apache Ah’s ara eh. – Remember the told one man was not restricted.
Directing equipment at the Boardboard equipment indicates IL / CPL Ford was in the middle of the refusal.
“I can point to the heat source that gave me the belief that there was life,” recalls Tom, 58. “It’s a life that can be saved.”
The plan was held.
The Apaces are working twice, contains a pilot and a gunpoint. Obviously, no passenger’s space.
However, in the event of a crash behind the enemy rope to another Apache can redeem the straps and ride ‘out, near the wings.
“If that way we use to take people away from the situation, then we can use the same way to take people into a state,” Tom said.
He sits in South Yorkshire in South Yorkshire, but her mind returned to Apache Compact.
“From that vision, the whole system began to appear.”
Three royal streets and the Royal Corps of Offeachers volunteered to stick to two sides of the Apache – another Ord Macy.
It was not yet before.
But Tom emphasizes that he was “very convinced” in men.
“Knowing that everyone is able to make the process of making decisions too much.
“I knew what we were doing, there were the dangers that associated with it and I had to bury that.”
Times before the two Apaches to collect IL / CPL Ford, a bomb was dropped nearing any of the remaining taliban.
In the dust, smoke and debris from the leading blinking, Tom reached a $ 42m plane, allowing men to shout.
In the podcast, their commander, Rob Mavowan, says: “I felt very distressing because I was finally sentencing from one of the most dangerous works.”
“These men,” says Tom says, “I all know, that we came straight out to the enemy garden.”
The recovery group was found l / cpl Ford dead.
During the end of the endless enemy fire, the men protecting the diminished comjando’s body in the Apaches brought her home.
Although a person was the main hope, his body was brought home to his mother Joan Ford.
His boy rested in peace.
“You know that her boy is,” said Tom. “That means the world to Him. You know that Mathew came home.
“He was given a respected funeral for his friends, his family, his colleagues, and played playing.
“That, in the context of the military, it will be difficult to try to put the value.”
Today, Jugroom Fort Mission remains a bright example of military brotherhood, courage and solving.
“What we have had to all of the soldiers where if you find yourself, in whatever situation you get,” said Tom.
“For every mother her son meeting the army this church, because all her mother ever served in the army, I am sure that all the them.”
