Those aren't medals . .. . .



Gadaffi has started awarding himself postcard's for medals by the looks of things. Saw this on the news when he was in Paris recently and had to try not to laugh.

Appearently it's got something to do with some martyr or resistance fighter in the photo when Libya were under Italian occupation

Here's a few pics I took at an open day at my local E.E.L.A.A.T. Base.
The Tiger choppers are part of a joint Franco-German Force. Not great quality. just taken on my phone.

1st Pic is the Badge.

EXCELLENT photos Hagar. Some very impressive hardware there I must say. BTW, that helicopter with Tiger on it, is that a German developed chopper or just an Apache or whatever ?

It's the result of a French/ German collabpration, it is effectively a Euro version of an Apache. You would not believe the amount of equipment in our local base. It is also amazing to see French and Germans working hand in hand as a military unit when 60 years ago they were mortal enemies. Pity I didn't have my proper camera with me. Some of the flying displays were excellent.

Interesting. Great hardware, doubt with th erecent govt. report of Bord SNIP we'll be having a few of them

BTW, what language do they use when the Germans and French do millitary excercises ?

I don't know for sure but I'd guess English when Airborne. On the ground all the lads were speaking both French and German with equal fluency. Typically ask the question in your own language and get the response in the other. Mind you many French speak to me in English and I speak back to them in French, both of us get the practice in the other's language. Head melting stuff .
