Hi guys,
I though it would be nice to share this one with you. I came to it by accident at the dailymail web page.

Actually it´s only the third picture of the modern era DPV I´ve seen. There is one in the Tankograd book depicting vehicle in Sierra Leone, another picture of several DPVs and Toyotas from Afghanistan is easy to be googled and now this quite detailed photo from early stage of the invasion to Iraq (the photo´s caption said it was Iraq 2003)

I hope you like my find

Love it. I've been looking also for a while, and your find is one of the best so far. Shame there isn't more reference for the modern DPV out there... Great find

Well here is a link to my photo album: DPV

This vehicle now resides as the gate guardian in Hereford, there are no official photos of the DPV and there never will be. Members of the regiment are forbidden to share detail about operational matters. The MOD of course has a strict "no comment" regarding SF matters. There are very few true DPV's out in the wild but there are many look-a-likes and those who claim to know.

I hope these images help.

Brian
