Pzkpfw-e Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Scattered all over the place! This one's at the Royal Artillery's "Firepower" museum, Woolwich Arsenal, London. I assume this is ex-Iraqi, it's at Duxford. Recovery version next to it, and there's a ZSU 23-4 there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

750armoured Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 for 3 weeks after the war i went around picking up iraqi armour just north of kuwait city, best 3 weeks in the army :-D Hi Eddy8men, The two pics are incredible It's a type 653 recovery vehicle, and probably a Type 69. How many pics did you take during 3 weeks? Thank you very much Cheers JJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchinuk Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'm not sure that '715' is ex-Iraqi, the IWM had several ex-Warsaw Pact vehicles. However, there is an Iraqi modified (a set of pipes to direct a smoke screen to the front of the vehicle) Type 69 inside the Land Warfare Hall. However, back in the day, the museum at Beverley had these: As you can see, some items are ex-Iraqi and ex-USMC! I'm not sure where these are as I don't know if they were part of the MoAT collection or owned by the NAM. jh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Im sure there is a rather shot up one in the halls at Bovington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very interesting pics Cheers JJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchinuk Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Sorry for the borders on the Beverley pictures, these were taken on slide film and scanned. jh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchinuk Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Some more ex-Iraqi artillery, at Fort Nelson near Portsmouth, Meanwhile in South East London, And finally, in Essex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchinuk Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Some more obscure vehicles, not on public display as they were in a secure site, No idea if they are still there, might be donated to a public museum or dispatched to the ranges. jh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy8men Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 there was a gate guardian mtlbu outside kiwi barracks in bulford that me and the reccy mech pulled out from under the pylon line north of kuwait city, i knew it was the same one because it still had 26 fd ra sprayed on the side. i'll have a look and see if there's any more pics of iraqi kit in my old phot album. rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchinuk Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Finally for today anyway, In rural East Anglia.... Not sure where the rest of the tank is, I think this is ex-Iraqi, but not 100% sure Hope these are of interest. jh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 There is an APC at Whittington Barracks, Lichfield, however I don't have a picture. This is based at Ashdown Camp and was captured during Desert Storm IIRC: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards JJ I hope you'll excuse me for being picky. Welsh, Irish and Scottish forces attended the First Gulf War, so it would be more accurate to ask about British, rather than English troops. They can get picky if you call them English. Also, British Forces did not participate in Operation Desert Storm: they were on Operation Granby.

eddy8men Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 last few pics of iraqi kit from my photo album, i wish i had taken more during my time on various tours but i never seem to get round to it (too busy playing volley ball) the first couple show what i think is a 23mm AA gun, loaded and ready to go. next is a water tanker with the worlds worst attempt at camouflage, i think it was a reo. the last pic shows an M 109 from my regiment that blew up on a fire mission, a charge bag caught fire when it was being loaded into the breach, luckily none of the crew were killed but a few got badly burned.
