Spot the difference!

Who would have thought it but apparently the Malawi Defence Force has a Parachute Battalion aaaaand the Paratroopers recently held an open day to showcase their skills, as the Daily Times reports.

Commanding officer George Jaffu (the slightly dodgy looking bloke in the picture who looks like he should perhaps be friends with Wallace and Gromit) was keen to explain why they were raising funds, ‘we need to have a cenotaph built in honour of all the soldiers who died in action including those who died while jumping in training as this will motivate others to work harder’. Not so sure about that actually Mr Jaffu Sir, I think there are probably other ways to get some fighting spirit into the team but if you will fling Malawian soldiers out of planes do make sure they have the right backpack on and know which strings to pull on the way down.

It seems like time with the newspaper photographer may have been limited…anyone else notice anything fishy? Have a closer look at the Landing and Boarding pictures?



‘La, la, la-la-laaaa’ murmurs the reporter as he cuts and copies, ‘I’ll just change the sizing a little bit, no one will notice! La, la, la-la-laaaa - job done!
