Ground reconnaissance - Stafford and Lawrence Above: A typical ground reconnaissance party using a Crossley tender and a Ford Light Car, the latter not really up to this type of job - hence the towrope. 2Lt W.G. Stafford is on the right with Capt T.E. Lawrence next to him.

Right: A ground party reconnaissance in May 1917 to search for and salvage BE2c 4483. Dry brushwood had to be cut back to allow the vehicle to proceed while the temperature was 1180F. Lt W.G. Stafford is on the left and Capt Lawrence seems deep in thought on the right.

Below: Recovering the wreck of BE2c 4483 from the Wadi Hamdh. It took this team two days to tow the machine back to their base at Wejh, some 75 miles.
