021 - 188 - Lt Col 73 Sqn/Regt RCT leaves the Falklands by boat as part of a farewell ceremony

A Lieutenant Colonel of 73 Company RASC/73 Squadron RCT, presumably their Commanding Officer, sits on the back of an RCT boat as leaves port in the Falklands whilst wearing a makeshift top hat emblazoned with the RAOC badge. This is possibly part of an unofficial farewell ceremony, with the Lt Col being fondly seen off by his troops.
