According to Jorephani, “The Turks said, ‘Hang on a second mate, we are neutral in the war, you can’t get this stuff through.'” He tried explaining to them, “Look, this is First World War film stuff, you can’t shoot with it, this is a gun for film-making.” But to no avail. Instead, recalled Jorephani, they had to send their lorries “through Greece, on ships, across Lebanon, across Syria, which was then more friendly with the Iranians than the Iraqis, and across the desert to Baghdad. I was really quite frustrated by then.”
