Urban Dasht by David Rowlands. A Combat Logistic Patrol establishes a desert laager for the night, following protracted CLP operations into the Green Zone, Helmand Province, southern Afghanistan. Each CLP traveled in single file during the day, but in the evening would form up in three columns and halt. The personnel immediately carry out clearance drills, searching for IEDs by sweeping the ground around their vehicles with Vallon detectors. A Support Vehicle (Recovery) of the REME with its crane is working to repair a vehicle. The leading vehicles in the column at the right of our view are Royal Engineer assets comprising the Talisman system. A Mastiff command-post with mast-mounted electro-optic sensors has a Remote Weapon System. Behind it is a JCB High Mobility Engineer Excavator; behind it are more RE vehicles including a Buffalo. The leading Mastiffs are also fitted with the SPARK - Self Protection Adaptive Roller Kit for protection against mines and pressure-initiated IEDs. There are some areas of urban desert; that is, in close vicinity of the population but still very much in a desert landscape. Dasht means plain or desert. |

Imber Clump, Warminster, 1986 by Alwyn Crawshaw. The FV 4201 Chieftain was the British Army's main battle tank during the 1960s and 1970s. It was one of the most advanced tanks of its era, came into service in 1966 and had the most powerful main gun and heaviest armour of any tank in the world. The Chieftain proved itself capable in combat and able to be upgraded with enhancements both for overall improvement and to meet local requirements. The Chieftain tanks were continuously upgraded until the early 1990s when they were finally replaced by the Challenger series of tanks whose design was influenced by that of Chieftain. The tank's main combat experience was in the Iran - Iraq War of 1980-88. |
