No Warrior or snatch wagon here.. This was all we had as an Armoured escourt me and a LMG which I borrowed from the co-driver!..

My first run into Basrah palace with 71 34 one of our more reliable Seddons

On gaurd during a roadside breakdown on our way to Alamarah

I got to play with the BFI DROPS wagon to recover our old Foden Tankers

I even had a go of a T55 tank

At the end of my tour I managed to get out off daily work by doing a detail into Kuwait with the OC Mavrick, it was bit like the Ant hill mod with a car full of squadies and guns, best thing was the 4x4 had AIRCON!...

Breakdown in a sandstorm

We still had old Befords in Iraq, some were beaten up, the one next to me was known to the trrop as the Venga bus and took us to our work most mornings

Pumping fuel from one of the Seddon Tankers

I even met the man himself

Recovery of disused 22500 foden Tankers

On arrival in Iraq I was asigned to Fuel troop and I never had a HASMAT so I spent a week in Ummqasr port taking lessons and sitting and thankfully passing my test, here I am taking a break

I also had a short period hauling water for water troop, here I am picking up water in Kuwait possibly in the American base Camp Big Sky?...
