This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_007E_01C5312B.140A47E0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi All - and Happy Easter, I have just been reading an interesting article in Land Rover Enthusiast magazine about a Professor Bernhard Grzimek who was the director of Frankfurt Zoo, but who also spent many years trying to save wildlife in Africa. He spent most of his time in the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. While working here, he and is son Michael used a 107 station wagon as their transport while they studied animal migration patterns. The 107 was painted with black and white stripes in a 'Zebra' style and the article was trying to prove that this was possibly the first vehicle to carry this paintwork. (it's a few years before the childrens TV series 'Daktari'). Sadly Michael was killed in a plane crash in 1959 and the vehicle was sold, but James Taylor is interesed to find out if this was the first vehicle to carry such a paint scheme, and I wonder if the vehicle still survives - it should not have rusted away too much I guess. Over to you guys... If you can help, you can contact James Taylor at editorial@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx Cheers Mark Halifax UK ------=_NextPart_000_007E_01C5312B.140A47E0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV=3D"Content-Type" CONTENT=3D"text/html; = charset=3Dus-ascii"> <META NAME=3D"Generator" CONTENT=3D"MS Exchange Server version = 6.5.7036.0"> <TITLE>Calling South Africa......</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <!-- Converted from text/rtf format --> <P><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">Hi All - and Happy Easter,</FONT> </P> <P><FONT SIZE=3D2 FACE=3D"Arial">I have just been reading an interesting = article in Land Rover Enthusiast magazine about a Professor Bernhard = Grzimek who was the director of Frankfurt Zoo, but who also spent many = years trying to save wildlife in Africa.
