. This print captures a remarkable moment during the historic DailyMirror Trans-African Hovercraft Expedition, which took place between 15 October 1969 and 3 January 1970. Embarking on an audacious adventure through eight West African countries in a Winchester class SRN6 hovercraft, this expedition etched its name in the annals of exploration as the longest and most ambitious hovercraft journey ever undertaken. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the convergence of ancient traditions and modern marvels. Against a backdrop of vast African landscapes, local Arab tribesmen gracefully traverse the terrain atop their majestic camels. Their presence adds an air of mystique to this already awe-inspiring expedition.
