Falklands

[Matt W]

Been digitizing some photos of my tour in the Falklands in 1994, some of which i thought may be of interest. First two are us preparing 105mm HESH for demolition on Onion Range. Next is a demolition of 20000 L2 grenades and ten barmines, followed by a shot of the resulting crater. Finally, getting rid of smoke grenades at Pleasant Peak Quarry by letting them off. Got a very stiff arm from throwing so many, and got a bollocking from Air Traffic Control for making too large a cloud of smoke!

Because PE4 dosen't give you a raging headache like the old nobles 808 used to!
There's also little protection from anything going off is there?
