Cairo Trolleybus.
I know this is totally random, but I'm having to find things to do whilst 'isolating' at home. I came across a few prints whilst rummaging around a few days ago and I'm not normally an advocate of scanning such if there are negatives available. However, the previous scan I did of this from a negative wasn't even this good, so I thought I'd share this Mk II version for something a bit different.
In 1975, I found myself on an educational cruise . . . along with a couple of thousand other kids, aboard the SS Uganda. One of our ports of call was Alexandria (a real eye-opener!). From there we were bussed to Cairo to do the touristy things like museums, Pyramids and Sphinx etc. I recall being more intrigued by the fact that the city had Trolleybuses, though attempts to photograph them were thwarted at every juncture. This one however was merely a grabshot through the window of our Mercedes (0302?) coach. I'm glad that I got something as I believe Trolleybuses in that city are no more. Regrettably I know nothing about make and type.
