I remember reading somewhere that while on operations if you take something off someone (e.g. a gun off a surrendering/dead insurgent in iraq) your allowed to keep it (and in the case of the gun have it deactivated)

Is that true or would it be regarded as stealing, which is what I thought it would be?

Unfortunately I cant remember where I read it.

For farks sake mate!
Leave it out will you!
Like Royal and Co. need any farkin encouragement to go on a plunder!

" ....but sarge, that tank commander surrendered to me so proffer's rights the tanks mine innit?..... urgh... Saaaaarge this copper wants to confiscate MY tank! "

All I got are a few Eye-Rackee dinars with Saddams grid on them.

Few helmets found their way back to Seaton mind.

Give me a few seconds and I got some Pics somewheres..........wait out.

bugger couldnt find my helmet pic ! nor my dinars.

so heres a few from the sand climate anyway.

That first pic looks suspiciously like an MA curled up in a doss bag!

Cover for the rounds mate, dont want 81mm HE getting warm now do we

few more......I did that fateful thing of opening my pic albums last night and sitting in the lounge with a wet until 2am!! ahh memories.

I can beat that hands down................i went on a recce to the Waverley, in the West Port, Arbroath (major battle zone) and acquired a bootneck. complete with Dhobie!!!! (thats another story)

Logregt Sigs Troop returned from down south with a Lifeboat from the Galahad.

I have no idea but the powers that be were less than happy.

Everyone was robbing mega obvious thinks so i thought i would get some diffrent only trouble was i had to take it every where with me i found a way to dismantle it and hide it in the pinz in a position i new they would never look.

There was an op plunder before we left Iraq so all gizets had to be handed in especialy weapons but personaly i dont understand why you would want an AK on your wall above the mantle- peice.

I know of a certain unit known as the '40' thieves well know also in military police circles as the 'Hydrolics' who would come away from an Operation with more gear than they went in with??. Aye jr

Anyone remember this one.


Thats my mum she is 5 ft 7inches.

I was just thinking that It would be a good secondary income, people pay alot for deactivated guns, so get 2 or 3 with no expense to yourself, sell them for 2-3 hundred each (or even 1 hundred) and youve got a decent bit of spare change.

Also other stuff you could find could come in handy or be valuable so £££
