Good News from the Middle East 3:

Continuing the series inspired by bandit.three.six:

In the area around Khandahar, the RAF Regiment is patrolling on foot, getting to know the locals. Whilst performing their main security duties - securing the local air base - the regiment "is developing a series of projects such as wells and water pumps to help the local population".

They drive from village to village, wearing soft hats and maintaining a friendly posture, stopping to talk to the village elders, and giving pens and other small gifts to the crowds of young kids who flock round them every time they stop.
