KEN SNOWDIN HAS BEEN IN TOUCH THIS WEEK, ASKING ABOUT THE REUNION, BUT ALSO SENDING IN A COUPLE OF SNAPS, AND THREATENING TO SEND MORE.

Ken spent a lot of his time overseas, and in the late 1970`s, was to be found in and out of Iraq at regular intervals, no doubt helping to sell all those TS-14B`s & 33-07`s, which were alledgedly used for purposes other than muckshifting around about 1990/91.

Anyway, Ken`s initial contribution to the site so far lies with these 3 images, and we use his words on the first one from 1976……."this one of Keith Warrender near the house….. was before any of the wars. Baghdad always looked like that !!"Bagdad 1976

1976 again, a rather innocuous pile of metal here……. "surplus cutting edges" Ken tells us……..more of those weapons of mass construction we reckon !!Bagdad 1976 surplus cutting edges.

And lastly from around 1978, a shot of the man himself, on his way home from Iraq, stopping off in Athens, no doubt he had run out of oozo, and just popped into the Greek Duty Free !!Athens enroute fm Baghdad about 1978 519
