Re: MI6 use Pentax
AH he's confused the British regulars for the Canadian Army, well the local and Provincial regiments were in aqua green tail coats and single bandoler, except Quebec, they were in a bright Blue not to be mistaken for the dark blue of the US "Blue" coats. --- Tom Rittenhouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > No, no, Mounties wear bright red frock coats.

No, no, Mounties wear bright red frock coats. Army wears bright red tail coats with crossed white bandolers. Look I have seen them in the movies, so you can't tell me otherwise.

Re: MI6 use Pentax
Why do I doubt that? I think it is about as likely as that Rolleiflex tape recorder James Bond used in one of the early movies. Or the industrial laser in the Rolex watch in a later movie.

Actually, the K2DMD I bought in a pawnshop I later learned it must have belonged to the STB, the communist secret police.

Re: MI6 use Pentax
Well, actually, the Canadian army went into Afghanistan without desert camo, becuase we don't have any! All's we got is green stuff. Not many deserts in Canada, I guess. Loads of forests, though. Not that that's an excuse. We like to think of ourselves as peacekeepers, so we should be ready to go anywhere in the world for that purpose. I suppose that any defense funds that the military can squeeze out of the government should really go towards stopping our helicopters from plummeting from the sky (as they have a propensity to do, since they're about as old as I am!).

Re: MI6 use Pentax
Well at the time when the Bond Novels were written place Pentax in the U.S. was distributed by Heiland/Honeywell. The CIA would use Pentax because the Congress would stipulate that the American Agencies should use "American" equipment. At 07:22 AM 1/20/2002 -0500, you wrote: >[EMAIL PROTECTED] asks: > > >. 1.
