Daily Photo - Abandoned WWII Truck, near Gilf Kebir
Here are my own photographs of the abandoned car at the Gilf Kebir, about which I was whittering yesterday. It is located opposite the mouth of Wadi Bakht, near the eastern edge of the Gilf. According to Andras Zboray's excellent website, the vehicle is a 1942 Ford truck used in the Kufra Convoys.
