Mack NR series Truck. Originally supplied to the British Army and photographed in Chegutu, Zimbabwe, in 2003…
Nissan pick-up loaded with irrigation pipes. Photographed in Chegutu. I drove that back to my Mother-in-Law’s farm once the guys had finished securing the load…
Class 71 electric locomotive 71003 at Ashford Works in 1979…
It was an interesting drive back over the dirt roads – being careful on the bends and avoiding the worst of the potholes. In England I think it would have attracted the attention of the Police but in Zimbabwe at the time it was a normal occurrence.
What marvelous photos you have for this week, That old Nissan with the irrigation pipes, the load looks almost to heavy for it 😀
