It is the ration of BCB.
It exists from many years ago.
When did the British Special Forces adopt it

BCB send me an eMail with a pdf sheet - but I couldn`t upload it here - so if somebody wants mor info - pm!

I try to get some of these rations for testing and review - looks good for me, any inquiries?

So, what do you think? Is it a good ration? I found some for about 17-20 Euros - still high - think it isn`t it worth - maybe - but if its high quality...
Can buy directly from BCB!!!

About worth of that ration, judgment is difficult...
I am interested in that ration.
However, he is more interested in the Polish rations introduced by other threads

Great pics and I'd love to get a couple British 24 hour ration packs. That being said, I'm curious about a couple things; first of all, are the kendall mint cakes any longer issued in these or any other UK rations, and second, have the manufacturers of the rations had the same or similar issues with chocolate bars designed for multi-climate as we have had here with the desert bars (mainly digestive problems with the troops)? Thanks!
