Egypt / LRDG Patrol Truck Wreck

[Kuno]

Hanno; I can confirm that the two above shown wrecks are lying in Egypt. I personally have not seen them yet...

...but would definitely like to.

Unfortunately, desert-travelling becomes more and more difficult these days. For Egypt, you do not only have to take a military officer wth you, as it was in recet years but - depending on where you want to go- between 4 and 8 additional armed policemen with two additional trucks and two additional drivers. These are definitely not conditions I am used to have and even want to have :-(.

This was posted only a couple of weeks ago, when Egypt was a much calmer place. I wonder what the rules for desert travel would be today, or for the forseeable future?

...I was very lucky that I took the chance to visit Egypt and Tunisia in autumn last year...

Maybe its a good time for a clandestine border raid while they are all buzy throwing rocks at each other. I'll hold the gate open for you all when you get back.

Been speaking to the son of Y patrol veteran and he is certain that Kuno's Ford is the same one that the oil workers pulled out. He says that there were nearly 200 Army Forms on board and he has now identified about 150 as LRDG men. Hope to get a couple of photos posted.

Paul,

That is exciting news. Were the photos in colour or B/W?

Cheers,
Mark
