Unveiling the Sinister Secrets: Suspected Iraqi Supergun Seized at Teesport". In this print from April 13th, 1990, we are transported back to a moment of high tension and international intrigue. The image captures the dramatic scene at Tees Dock in Middlesbrough, as British customs officials make a groundbreaking discovery - a suspected Iraqi supergun. The imposing weapon, concealed within an unassuming ship, stands as a chilling testament to the arms race that plagued the late 20th century. Its intricate network of pipes and barrels hints at its destructive capabilities and raises questions about its intended use. As onlookers gather around in awe and apprehension, one cannot help but ponder the implications of such a find. How did this formidable weapon end up here? What were its intended targets? And what role might it have played in Iraq's tumultuous history? This photograph serves as both evidence and reminder of our world's complex geopolitical landscape during the 1990s. It is a testament to the tireless efforts of customs officials who work diligently behind-the-scenes to keep dangerous weapons out of harm's way. Preserved by Teesside Archive NR, this striking image invites us to reflect on past events while urging us to remain vigilant against future threats. Let it serve as a stark reminder that peace can never be taken for granted when powerful weapons like these lurk beneath seemingly ordinary surfaces.
