By populare demand, I have looked through my photos to get some more pics of Brits in Afghanistan.
These photos is from different patrols in and around Bagram Airfield. Some from sweeping operation and one is even from a Spanish party in Kabul. Enjoy...

Second day we get up to the working site. To spare the equipment we left the flails up there over the night. That was one of the Brits job, to guard them when we left for the day.

Then we started sweeping. One man remained at the starting point while two sweeping teams with 2 sappers in each team walked out to their starting positions. All this was then co-ordinated by the one at the starting position manned with radio and laser. Here they have walked out to the 500 meter range.
