Almost my all time favorite: Still made in India. Bren L4A2 in 7.62mm Nato. Up in the Kashmir and w/ a support crew.

How about One More ??
No, they are not looking for Tony Blairs Helo
But I bet if he ever flys in a Paki MI-8, these guys won't care who is in their airspace.
I really like Brens and what a neat little AA setup.
**Edit Note**
In light of current events in Britain, my comment about Tony B was made only in jest. He is going to need all the support he can muster...

Apparently the original weapon was a Czech design in the early '30s, the Enfield people just took a licence, reworked it for .303" and made it their own (I'll bet they didn't bother to renew the licence when the ownership changed in 1938 :? ).
It seems odd that such a quintessentially 'British' weapon as the Bren was originally Eastern European, but there you go.
Brens, I love 'em
(So, if anyone has a spare that ther don't want and can get it to me, I'm sure I can give it a good home - just don't tell Princess Tony or the Plod)
