"This was our party on the return trip from Armadia. Here you see us just after we had limped in to the Iraqi police outpost after being stranded for some hours in the desert, with no water and a dud engine. Second from left is one of the three desert police that gave us so much help in giving us food and water and getting us on the way again."
