Garfield pic looks fine Al, brings back a few memories of that det.

The good folks will just have to take my word for it but I think this was Snoopy lying on a Union Flag , I seem to recall we also had a 'Red Baron'.


Here are a few other things we used to see whilst bimbling around at low-level en-route to the desert LZs...

Ahmed Al-Jaber Airfield (with oil fires in background).


Some form of bunker taken out with a reasonable degree of effectiveness.


DH at Ali Al Salem.


Another angle showing the thickness of the HAS and how useless it was - it was a bit of a wake-up call that we were in a new age of weapon capability.


A dead Super Connie (used for Rescue training at AAJ - Story here).


An eerily empty Kuwait City.
