Wow, looks like a great experience, seeing all that first hand  :o
The closest I've been to an Apache (flying) was when one flew over my house after the Falklands 25th anniversary commemorations.

I don't think thats a M1A1, but I thinks its the Challenger II. The close I've ever be to amour (tank's, APC's, ect) was in a museum, I've never ever seen a running tank :P :)

I agree, although if the weapon as been cleared by both parties (handler and photographer) I think its ok. Only for a photo shoot though. They used to tell us, "anything you point that rifle at you intend to kill."  

Anyways looks like lots of fun nevertheless ;D

Young cadets and heavy firepower... sounds like a mistake to me...  ;D

Some pretty hardware however... love the Apache... They didn't blow up the tank, did they?  ;D

Yep, the UK's equivalent of something like that is the Challenger (II)... :) A similar MBT but completely unrelated. :)
