Default Vehicles

I spotted a pre war CS8 Morris with the plain civilian type bumber bar . The armoured cars have undergone a complete chassis stripdown . I agree the location is nowhere near the shooting war , they all look well dressed and orderly. The reg numbers on the vehicles are very neat and tidy , applied with some care, just like us restorers do today .

Default Abbassia

Well spotted!

Abbassia is a suburb of Cairo.

Well known to Australians in the First World War, as it was the location of an Australian hospital. Also very close to the rail network that runs between Suez-Cairo-Alexandria, which was used for transporting hospital patients between those locations in addition to all the military gear being ferried around the place.

Sensible location for an ordnance workshop hub.

Mike
