Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.

Havelte Army Days

Post by Hans Rolink »

Some impressions from Havelte Barracks' Open House on Saturday 29 May. Weather was a bit thinly clouded at times with light coming from the left, but nevertheless, I enjoyed myself.

Hans.

Hi belenos and Purple,

How did you manage to get to the landing zone? Or are you soldiers/working for the army?

These Army Days didn't bring what I was hoping for, mainly due to the weather. White clouds and almost black helicopters doesn't work out very well together. The sand storms didn't help much either. :(

Only one reasonable photo was left after selection of my photos:

Hi EHAM,

No we are not in the army. We walked there and asked friendly by the local guards what the possibilities were to take some pictures. Stay in the bush and do not walk in the fields were the FARP was located.
