I'm looking for pictures of the challenger 1 MBTs that were delivered to Jordan (and renamed the "Al Hussein" tank). I have found 4 that were taken when the first ones were delivered, but they are all of the right or front sides of the vehicles and sans all equipment (they don't even have tow cables!). Specifically I am interested in service photos and shots of the rear of these tanks. Does anyone know where I might find some?

TIA, -v-

one addendum (as an excuse to bump the thread):

does anyone know of any technical drawings for the replacement turret designed for the Al Hussien tanks? It looks like it would be relatively easy to scratch build if I had a resonable idea of the dimentions.

I'm going to bump this thread one more time before i let it die, because I'm still hoping someone out there has some idea where to find at least a three view of the new turret system for the Jordanian Challengers Is.

Anyone, Anyone? Bueller?
