HM Royal Marines today unveiled the latest in grappling hook technology. Collapsing to a remarkable 32" the equipment allows hooks attached to camouflaged lines to be fired at any stationary or moving object so enabling commando-loaded dingy’s to approach their target without using oars or motors.

Tests proved difficult. Corporal Jones was sadly struck by lightning during one night-time exercise here at HM training ship HMS Driftabout but engineers at development partners Imperial College expect the multi-million technology to be operational in six months time.
