Egypt / LRDG Patrol Truck Wreck

[Marc Montgomery]

wow how intriquing. i wonder how many times the truck has been buried and unburied over the years by the sand?

i seem to recall a ww2 truckwas located and recovered by the egyptian or Libyan (?) military a few years ago (10?) and was put on display.
I think it was a cmp but cannot remember.

-I believe the story was that they theorized it was a supply truck that got lost in the desert.. lots of empty food cartons lying around it.. possibly two men aboard- lost/died in the desert? the sands blew over it and covered it for decades till the sands blew off it. Allegedly in perfect condition

I also seem to recall they claimed they put a new battery and fuel in and were able to drive it out (although frankly I kinda doubt that) I also remember seeing photos of it on display but cannot locate them now.
