Has anybody picked up Concord's Spec Ops #25? I'm interested in the British Armor in Iraq section. From the sample on Concord's website, it looks like it is just pictures swiped from the MOD Op Telic gallery.

I thought they were taken by a French journalist...

I've got #26 and #27 and the contents of these are attributed to Yves Debay. Great pictures but the commentary wears a bit thin in #27.

Yes, I believe Yves is a frequent contributor to the Concord Special Ops series. I have seen his work in some earlier volumes too, if I remember right.

Usually the photos in these publications don't come from other 'wire-like' or picture agency services.

Maybe another photographer then?

I got a chance to look through Concord's Spec Ops #25 today. Every picture in the section on British forces in Iraq is available in the Ministry of Defence Operation Telic galleries.

But #26 and #27 have plenty of nice original photographs.
