The number of soldiers involved was to be increased to 250 in the coming months.

A German vehicle, which is part of a convoy believed to be transporting two freed German engineers who were kidnapped by gunmen in Baiji in January 2006, drives past as the convoy leaves the German embassy. Rene Braeunlich and Thomas Nitzschke, two Germany engineers held hostage in Iraq for 99 days, were freed yesterday.

Oregon Gov.Ted Kulongoski makes the sign of the cross after placing a coin on a memorial at the funeral of Oregon National Guard Staff Sgt. Kevin Davis in Lebanon, Ore., April 21, 2005. Whenever an Oregon soldier dies in Iraq or Afghanistan, Kulongoski makes it a point to attend the funeral service. He's been to dozens since the war began three years ago.

Ha! Cool to see a pic from my hometown paper! Too bad it's under such sad circumstances.:( RIP.

I concur.

The bipod is the most obvious giveaway in this case :)

Sako TRG-22

Nope, TRG-42 ;)

I flew in a C-47 operated by a cargo outfit about 12 years ago. It's a loud ride with a lot of vibration.

[He219]

Looks like the radials were replaced with turboprops ... still noisy nonetheless

Nope, TRG-42 ;)
Really; chambered in either .300 Win Mag or .338 Lapua to qualify (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1st_Special_Commando_Regiment) as a TRG-42 rather than a 7.62x51mm TRG-22?

Great assortment of pics as always. Thanks

[Catch22]

It's TRG- 22, standard 7,62x51mm. We don't have any 42's around.

Holy crap! A C-47! Those things first flew in 1935.

There are two examples kept in flying condition by the Hellenic Air Force, the oldest aircraft still in regular Military service in the world. They form the core of the HAF's Historic Flight.

The guys shown in these pix with the HK53s are the CP detail for Lt. Gen Rob Fry. As Lt. Gen. Fry is an RM officer serving in an MoD role, it is most likely that these guys are from the CP Troop RMP, but they could possible by from Police Troop Royal Marines.

I saw the most surreal footage yesterday about the copter crash in Basra:

A cat climbing on the suspended and smoldering wreckage of the copter!

I first thought it was a creature from hell screwing around. It was incredible. Firemen were trying to extinguish the fire on what I think was the wreckage of the turbine of the copter, hanging on the air between two buildings. A cat, half-burnt, half-wet was climbing it!

I don't know why but it really shocked me. We have become so used to the scenes of bombings and firefights that this particular scene really drove home the horror of war.

Anybody else saw that??

RIP to the dead.
