Sorry I don't think I ever met him, although I am guessing if you knew him in Iraq you are talking about 21st century adventure and not "Desert Storm". If he was a WO2 in the early 2000s then he would be a bit after my time I was in N Ireland in 76 & 77, I took my Major's pension and left the service in Feb 94.AndyC wrote:My sidearm in Iraq - but I still prefer the CZ75
Noggin, this might be a long shot but did you happen to know a WO2 Derek Bull (Para reg) there? He was doing the same work - got an MBE for it. He was one of my bosses in Iraq - sterling guy, very low-key but knew his stuff.

Re: Oh no!
Last fall I inherited one from my father in law who died in September. I guess I should now hang on to it.
Way back in the 1970s as a young Lt I carried one in Northern Ireland for 2 tours. however unlike the guy in that old picture standing next to his Vaukhall Viva "Q Car" I kept mine in a Hunter shoulder holster under my coat not in my waist band and my "Q car" was a Ford Escort MK1.
Back in the 70s short hair marked you out as being military so we were encouraged to grow ours longer than regulation.
