Our correspondent from Egypt, Mahmoud Ezzeldin, was kind enough to accompany Dirk and Trudy Regter with their Model T during their passage in Egypt. On the way back he visited his friend Amin Khadr, who is the grandson of Ahmed Esawy "Bek" Khadr. Amin had two photos of a Royal campaign held during the times of King Fouad I. The campaign was directed by Ahmed Esawy Bek Khadr in 1930 to control and destroy the locust nests & eggs in South Sinai in Egypt. The mission was held in March 1930 and on the photo is a Renault (a big 6 cyl.?) and on the right an unknown six-wheel car, which has the tins of fuel and water placed on a shelf made on top of the rear wheel fenders,. (Mahmoud doesn't know if this is a homemade shelf or original). The question is of course: what kind of car is that six-wheeler? And maybe we can also pinpoint the exact model of the Renault?
