A few days later the tanker which was being used to oil the sand on the runway ran over a mine in almost the same place. (A trailer, so no injuries) Two of us shot down there in a Landrover, from which I took the attached pictures. Then the thought struck us: "The Beverley ran over a mine here, the oiler has just run over a mine here....err?" You'd be surprised how accurately it is possible to reverse a Landrover along its outbound tracks!
