Operation Granby - Modern British vehicles used by UK forces in Operation Granby during Desert Storm. This could include softskins as well as AFVs from all arms of the service. Has this been done before? Just an idea as I 'm looking at an AFV Scorpion.
Input please, maybe after summertime..in the new year maybe when things are cold outside...
Cheers

Love it!! A good idea. There haven't been many British campaigns yet. I'm in (when it starts of course) #:-)

Yeah I know. Its been adapted to many helis now, not just the "Squeaking"........ Besides, it suits the Merlin soooooo much better. (Combat SAR and all that jazz)

Shaun, do you fly the minigun on your cabs? Wouldn't fancy trying CSAR without some firepower...

So this would be Op Granby & Sabre? I'm booked till the end of the year but I'd be interested if you let my use my Spartan MCT that just has the hull put together.
