Default Land Rover & Army Vehicle Dumping Ground (picture heavy)
Am in Dubai this weekend and today, me, my Dad and my brother went for a drive to Falaj al Mualla (translates as the arse end of nowhere). We found a whole load of dumped and very old land rover defenders of various guises and a couple of old Bedford Transports. Hope you like the pictures.





Ex US Army vehicle I think









Ex Air Force vehicles I think.













My brother trying to stay out of the sun



My Dad looking like he's trying to propose to it (it wouldn't surprise me if he did )





















Thanks for looking

Matt
