Cheers mate.I'm back in Basra now mate. I did have a look in the BX in Qatar, a couple of months back, but they weren't that cheaper or much good either. The Yanks aren't doing that bad of job down here now (winkwink) to be honest. I prefer the Tootsie rolls which come in the US ration packs to the Hershey Bars HAHA

Not a helicopter, but did anyone else spot the B-17 'Flying Fortress' over town yesterday? That's a rare bird so I did a bit of googling and found it was the 'Liberty Belle', heading for a 4th July celebration at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford, having flown from Georgia via Bangor Maine, Newfoundland, Greenland, Iceland and Glasgpw. Quite a trip for a veteran plane.
