No prizes for guessing where this was taken. During GW1. But what are we doing here ? Well we are picking up boxes of KD made in Morocco ! Most of the UK stocks of KD and the like had been sold off during the trashing of the MUs etc during one of the never ending defence reviews(how many times can you use the 'peace dividend' ?) It had been sold to IRAQ ! Naturally the UK clothing industry had gone off KD production so Morocco was the easiest place to get it.
It was brought across the straits, checked for 'nasties' and flown out to the Middle East. I am still waiting for my lightweight flying overall.
