Anyone know anything about this company. If they really did go to Moscow and Afghanistan then
fair play to them.

Hi Dean,
Yes this company realy did go to these places,
What I remeber of Smiths they did a lot of work for Davis Turner…Evan Cook…and many of the big company’s who did not venture to those parts…I think they are still in business today !

Thanks for confirming that Mark,thats intresting i bet the driver could tell some stories. I wonder if he
took a camera with him. :wink:
