Africa...

Solid Rust Twotter,

That be the very machine albeit in sorry repair compared to the last time I saw her. The Bucket Wheel section (nearest camera in 2nd shot) is disconnected from the Bridge and the diesel-electric generators are missing from the top of the BW section.

When were these shots taken please ? I had heard that the machine had been fired at with RPG's in an attempt to sabotage her but not sure how accurate the rumour was.

Best wishes,

m
