Daily Photo – Into the Unknown
It looks in today's shot as though these trucks are heading into the unknown. Why would we move camp in a sand storm?

This scrap heap, photographed on a blustery day was at our first camp in the Calanscio Sand Sea.
I took this photo of a desert bloom in 1990, in western Libya, near the scene of one of our Land Rover crashes.
While the mechanics were recovering our crashed Land Rover I took this photo of the shifting sands on the dune our driver had used as his takeoff ramp.
Of course,we couldn't leave our wrecked Land Rover in the dunes, we had to recover it. Some joker had written 'Ouch!!' on the door after the flight and before the recovery.
After this hard landing, today's photo shows this flight was not quite as far as the Wright Flyer. And I wouldn't say the flight could be defined as 'controlled' either
