8. Bullet Magnet
The rescue team has landed and the ground search for Mathew begins. A discovery is made. And the difficulty of their task is about to become clear.
The bomber has created an enormous dust storm at The Fort.
Disorientated and under enemy fire, the team rush headlong from the grounded Apaches which have now become sitting duck targets for the Taliban.
Tom, alone and effectively stuck inside his aircraft spots Taliban activity ahead.
But the objective is clear: Find the stricken Lance Corporal Mathew Ford.
But the men on the ground are confronted with the difficult reality of that task.
