Thanks for that.
Did my armature photography course with them. Nice blokes they were/ are.
I'm still looking for my old book I treasured when I was a kid, the 1 of their adventures, and the cape trip.

I just wish the holders of their adventure movies would release them all in a box set or something on DVD, Would love to get copies of the shows I watched as a kid .

I have googled and not found the book I remember having, love to see the shows again, the old stuff that is, such as when they floated the tin shed (Land Rover) over the river up north, or when the flying doctors flew in some diff spares for them.

I remember the show when the diff was flown in.  The first of many diffs for the landies.

Thx for heads up edz.

Watched the show.  Was not what I expecting.  Really didn't know any of the background story.  Bit sad really. I wish Mal all the best and hope his enjoys a few more years of good health.

The boys were a couple of legends who I grew up watching on the old B&W tellie.  Certainly inspired me to get out and travel when I was old enough.
