You're not telling me that they have found him after that African rally?

That is bad news.

 

The Honourable Sir Mark Thatcher, 2nd Bt wrote later:

"We must have hit something. What actually happened was the trailing-arm links both broke; so the rear axle just broke away. We stopped. The others stopped too, took a note of where we were and went on. But the silly - instead of telling everyone we were 25 miles east when they finished the section, they told them we were 25 miles west."

 

So it looks as though "the silly " did their best for us.
