Wow, looks like a great experience, seeing all that first hand Shocked

The closest I've been to an Apache (flying) was when one flew over my house after the Falklands 25th anniversary commemorations.

I don't think thats a M1A1, but I thinks its the Challenger II. The close I've ever be to amour (tank's, APC's, ect) was in a museum, I've never ever seen a running tank Tongue

I agree, although if the weapon as been cleared by both parties (handler and photographer) I think its ok. Only for a photo shoot though. They used to tell us, "anything you point that rifle at you intend to kill."

Anyways looks like lots of fun nevertheless Grin

Young cadets and heavy firepower... sounds like a mistake to me... Grin

Some pretty hardware however... love the Apache... They didn't blow up the tank, did they? Grin

Yep, the UK's equivalent of something like that is the Challenger (II)...

A similar MBT but completely unrelated.
