Middle East - Not Astran!

AS many of us at the moment are thinking of the hardships of the people of Afghanistan, a few pics of time past in the late 70s.

A long time since I was there, but in spite of it being a pretty wild and lawless place the people are generally pretty cool & the scenery in parts is awesome.
