The scrolls
 
Does anyone remember quite a few years back when the scrolls were found and published on PPRUNE? They were written in a simpler time, and discribed the life and work of cameleers in a distant sandy place. It would be interesting if they could be re-published, to see how things have progressed...or not.
I have done a search here and can not find them, they were in the humour section up till the last PPRUNE format change. Anyone have a copy? Is the finder of these treasures still around to re-publish?

4HolerPoler, please ask Danny if we can have the humour page back again. There are a few outright gems that need to be always available for quick retrieval, like Flaps 40's incomparable 'A Trip with the Captain'.

I came upon a very tattered paper copy of the original scroll recently, and after re-reading, thought it could have been written today rather than 14 years ago.

Thanks Gulf news. Guess you don't have the second one as well do you?

Danny's dusted off a couple of old boxes in his attic & voila! - the scrolls return:

Enjoy; thanks for asking.

Thanks from an aussie caravan crew
 
We've just been blown out with a dust/sand storm here in the Gobi Desert :D and were sitting around trying to find the 2 scrolls and the qantas story with out success.

Lo and behold another search turns up your thread and success, thanks guys, will help us past the time till we can see again.
