bobgourami escribió:I drove my Jeep to work yesterday and an older gentleman showed some interest, saying that he'd driven one during his time in the British Army. I thought you guys might be interested in the photgraphs he showed me.
He served in the 2nd Battalion of the Parachute Regiment from 1951-53 and these photographs were taken during that period near Ismailia, Egypt.
I think they're really interesting shots of British airborne Jeeps in the post war period. Note the mixture of tires and the wire cutter.... The last picture, he told me, is of a Jeep which was airdropped but the parachute failed to open. If you have any questions I can ask him next time he pops in.
Fallo el Parachute???
