<p>The "Yellow Peril", an ex-GPO telephones JU-250 van owned by Doug
|
|
Florence had proved a faithful (if not always very reliable) form of club
|
|
transport for some time before its trip to Austria in 1978. It had a new
|
|
short engine just for the trip, as well as a new and astoundingly comfy rear
|
|
bench seat welded in the day before departure. This didn't stop the
|
|
alternator dying at Tunbridge Wells, but after that it performed heroically.
|
|
Occasional use was made of a standard JU-250 exhaust repair kit, but driver
|
|
and passengers were usually happy enough to consume the beans or rice
|
|
pudding from this in order to effect the repair.... As the photo shows,
|
|
such tins were just part of over 350 Kg of food which we took out on the
|
|
1978 expedition.</p>
