Hi luckytrigger,

 

Is that shiabea log base in the pic mate,i was out there same time in 2003 as well as basra palace and the airport.The APC isn't a BTR50 as they were all wheeled apc's 50,60,70,80. That one is a Norinco typeYW 531 built in China sold to Iraq {i think} that many different varients of these old soviet and commy vehicles,sad really but that comes to years of studying MBT'S AFV'S MICV'S.

 

drop us a line and we will pull a couple of sandbags

I have a friend who just got back... and he said that my fellow soldiers.. (ie american) lived in luxery compared to the brittish....

which is no surprise.. you guys didnt even have showers... like us.. :lol:

 

He however brought back a token of war... ie a nice pistol! I am shocked.... hes not allowed to buy ammo.... or use it but he can keep it?:lol:???

 

whats the point it that... he said another solider / friend of his brought back a fully automatic rifle.

 

they dont have to have them decommisioned... or anything.. i was shocked :P:lol:

 

Anyway Glad you made it back ok..I know some friends of mine in america who didnt.... :lol:

 

I still have some friends there and were in contact via email etc.

 

Anway nice photos... I have bucket loads sent by friends.... which are being kept save and secure..
