| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In the 7th issue of the Arno Newsletter there is an interesting article by Commander Martin Mackey, title as above. With reference to the future, he stresses the importance of developing systems that will allow us to do our job better, faster and safer by reducing the risk to men and material or more commonly, by removing "the man from the minefield". This left me wondering whether current MCM personnel are aware of the trails carried out, between 1968 and 1976, on the potential use of amphibious hovercraft in the MCM role. |
