The picture that brought a tear to my eye
Iraqi Airways - August 1988, Just departed from London Heathrow, en route to Saddam International, Baghdad :(
Reminds me of a GREAT time, war was over, people could travel, and Iraq was going to be the best place in the world. Now look what's happened.
Check here for 160 various pictures of "real" Iraqi Airways and the new ones (up to 2006). I must warn you though, if you've ever been on one of them these pictures will give you lumps in your throat... includes pictures of the planes "stored" in Amman and Tehran.
Upsetting isn't it?

Cheer up SoB, it is bleak now, yes, but nothing ever stays the same.
btw: DL'ed the Carnavas, good, for me a bit light on the technical side, but good :)
check out The View, this fresh new band from Dundee.
think: a hyperactive Oasis/Blur before they became famous mixed with a little Beatles and a LOT of Scottish accent:
tracks to check: Comin' Down - Don't Tell Me - Claudia.
as well as the rest of the album as well :)
ear-friendly, indie, a ton of feel-good energy, this is good music.
these guy are gonna be big, soon!
