This photo of a Tunisian Desert Sunset was taken in Tunisia – quel surprise! I only spent a couple of months in the Tunisian desert but I remember it was in the winter. It was cold at night and we were billeted in single-walled canvas tents rather than the heated trailers we used in Libya. I recall we had three-bar electric heaters to try and take the edge off the cold but you could only run two bars at most or you'd kill the circuit to your tent and that did not represent an emergency to the mechanics who managed our electricity supply.
Silhouetted against the sky is one of our Mayhew 1000 drilling packages on a M.O.L. 6 x 6 chassis. I can't find this location on Google Earth, it's been too long. I recall it being about an hour to an hour-and-a-half drive roughly south of Ben Gardane and not too far from the Libyan border but west of the C203.
