Sometimes, you find very odd things going through the archives.  This is the crew of a Pan-Am Boeing 747 posing on an abandoned Iraqi T-54-55 in the aftermath of the 1991 Gulf War, with burning oil wells behind them.



It does look as though they captured, and brewed up the tank.

Thank you gentlemen.

I had a bit of a 'flu. Couple of days in bed feeling very sorry for myself.

Much better now.

A worrying time, with Covid at large. Take it easy.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
