Ja he's had too many koeksisters.
A lot of firepower in one picture...
Same with this one
Pity the Rooivalk wasn't around during the war. Would have been a very valuable asset
MPLA's old flag design. They changed to the cog and panga sometime during the war iirc.
🇦🇴
UNITA I don't know what they were thinking... kak flag design
I've got an original Angolan flag coming in soon, except mine is the one they still use today
Lekker! Its a cool looking flag to be fair
1976 when the bren was still in use
Indeed! I'm glad HAH could hook me up with it
HAH?
High Adventure History, he makes a lot of Rhodesian themed patches (as well as others), and he sells various flags and military bits he finds
He selects which patches he sells via polls on his Instagram
Ah nice where's he based?
Galveston, Texas.
In November he's going to have an all-Rhodesian patch poll in honor of UDI
I believe his last patch was that blue Congo one
Sounds mint! How the hell did he get ahold of an original Angolan flag...
No idea, he tends to just get a hold of things, he's definitely worth adding on Instagram if you like cool stuff.
Definitely got these before the embargo 😉
True. I know he ships patches internationally all the time so those can't be too bad cost-wise
Buffel seen better days...

Captured during Op Protea. Checking out a soviet helm?
Wonder whether this is actual combat or an exercise.
Is it just me or is that a scope on a vickers? Description of this pic says its in a guntower at kutima mulilo
32Bn with modified Unimogs... interesting.
Rhodies had the same setup
These okes must have had some lekker biltong for awhile after.
The scope on the vickers is real it was operated like that to have accurate fire out to 1km away which was quite easily achieved by the vickers and as for the picture where you ask about training or real combat it is a training exercise, photos or cameras for that matter werent allowed in the operational area but exercises were photographed
Those are 106mm recoilless rifles on the mogs
Hmm im thinking the picture of the combat area might also be a demonstration in a township maybe ? Or it could be an aftermath of a battle that occured ? Only thing throwing me off is the fact that all the ratels are so closely parked together
This Ratel upgrade looks fokken mint
It looks more like theyre setting up a temp base or getting ready to go out on a operation
Ja doesn't look like a battefield to me
I wonder if theyre still using oerlikon 20mm's on it or if they switched to the bushmaster 25mm
🅱 oerlikon 20mm
I think still 20mms
It looks like a 20mm
Ratel 20 after all
