Not having access to a scanner, I've had to take these photos using my camerafone. They're all taken from the book "The World's Elite Forces" by Walter N. Lang, 1987 Salamander Books. Ltd. (Reprinted 88) CN9037. I've only copied the ones that seemed of direct interest for the time being - British forces from the 1980s, their kit, weapons, and some vehicles Once again, apologies for the quality of the pics (I'll see if I can get my dad's scanner to work this weekend). First up, Paras in the Falklands with Argie POWs: Next, SAS troopers training on a rocket system: Para in N.I., with civilian under examination: Guards(?) with N.I. police officer and civilian: Royal Marines in the Falklands with captured Argie: Another Para and Argie prisoner: NBC-clad soldier with early SA80 and nightsight: Sterling SMGs: Compact Sterling: Paras with a Gimpy(?): Desert Landy - note the soldiers wearing 4-colour DDPM!: Another desert landy:
