The vehicles are 34PE 1920 RR Silver Ghost, 1921 BSA V-twin combination m/c in background, UK registration NR 1091, M/c leaning on wall is either a Triumph or Douglas. I had two of each on location. This also solves the shot of David Lean on the Suez canal bank, cameo appearance Better shot for experts to identify m/c click thumbnail. Myself in charge over pile of dung. Scene 'Cairo street' actually Almeria harbourside. -- Last edit: 2007-08-18 20:52:20
