Nmp. PLT pulling for Orient. Possibly Syria or eastern Turkey.

Looks vaguely reminiscent of Kici, a Turkish village at the top of the pass going south after Belen just before it drops very steeply down to Reyhanli where you pick up the final stretch to the border at Cilvegozu / Bab al Hawa (Syria).

I suspect someone has climbed the hill shown in this photo, taken by me in January 1976, where John Hallibone in the yellow Daf, Andy West in the Micon 110 (probably his camera) and myself stopped for tea before heading on to Silver Gazoo, and taken a photo looking down on that lay-by.

John do you know what the initials on the two trailers stand for?

Finally got to see brother Andy. (Socially distanced of course!) We both have the same memory that the trailers were hired from a company in Manchester. I think it’s AFS. My trailer was from the same place I think, mine said SKI on the side. Whether either logo stood for anything, neither of us remember. A model maker from Carlisle who Andy called Uncle Malcolm made a model of Andy’s 110 and was going to do the AFS trailer, but sadly died before he got to it.
