Thanks Niels and Elias!! I really appreciate it. This is the kind of information that really helps out in our work, the units and activities of 'smaller' countries (sorry, just can't think of a better word at the moment). It's too bad many official websites aren't in English also.

I've been checking our newstands for AFM but we must be a month behind or something because the Recce Tornado issue is still on the shelves here.

Thanks again guys!!
