delta Posted 13 July , 2006 Share Posted 13 July , 2006 Two possible options 1. Guard duty at the port 2 Training on the heath near Lympstone or using the rifle range to the east of the town (I think it was called Start Point) I used it in 1981 Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
