Lots of firepower

The Solicitors Pro Bono Group (SPBG) has done and continues to do many great works, and raising money has always been one of the organisation's strong points.

But now it has come out all guns blazing.

The SPBG is conducting an auction on-line to sell any charitably minded, peace-loving legal citizens 'the opportunity not only to see the equipment and vehicles of the British Armed Forces, but also to see the weaponry fired on the Salisbury Plain ranges at close proximity'.

The afternoon's entertainment includes 'a mock battle, with live ammunition', involving helicopters, tanks, infantry, RAF jets, snipers and anti-tank missiles.

Obiter is looking forward to the SPBG's next move: a day-trip on a nuclear submarine, perhaps.
