Operation TELIC (pages 1-16)
This section all in colour has images from Operation Telic with six pages of Challenger 2 pics, with others featuring the AS-90, Warrior ICV, Scimitar and Landrover. Quite a few of the images have been seen before in other publications and on Websites but still may be new to some.

This large section has detailed images of German rocket projectors of WW2, the Sd.Kfz.4/1 15cm Panzerwerfer42 auf Sf (Maultier) is extensively covered with many wartime photos and detailed close-up images of a preserved vehicle as well as three side view 1/35th plans and a couple of images with the launcher on the sWS chassis. The Nebelwerfer 15cm and 21cm versions are also covered with again many wartime action photos showing the loading and firing sequences as well as shots of support vehicles such as the Sd.Kfz.10/2 and Sd.Kfz.11/4.
The 28cm and 32cm Wurfrahmen close-support rockets are also shown in various ground mountings both wooden box and metal trailer mounts which are also shown being towed behind Sd.Kfz.10s and transported in Sd.Kfz.11/2 vehicles as well as mounted on the Sd.Kfz.251/1.
The most exotic rocket projector, the Sturmtiger is also featured with a number of interior shots, all of which have been seen on other publications and finally there are a few photos of the rearer 8cm Raketen Vielfachwerfer auf Sf (Maultier) for an overall excellent coverage of German rocket launchers.
