Hi Col,
We had just left Quetta after being held up there while waiting for the border to re-open after a failed American attempt to rescue US hostages. All the punters were happy to be mobile again and all seemed to be perfect for the trip to Iran. I was in such a generous mood that I thought I would give way to the oncoming truck, stopping just before the culvert. As you can see in one of the pics the road collapsed under me. We had a fairly full complement of pax and I think one bandaid was needed. Lucky. I drove OMJ back to Delhi, much to the amusement of the locals. No windscreen and no glass down the port side.
Six months later I drove it out of Jullunda Bus Co with new livery and a slightly modified boot! Jullunda followed me out with a duplicate Tata. They had been coping my bus as they repaired mine.
Col, I can't remember being paid for my stretch in Delhi, can I put in a chit?
Sorry I've taken so long to post the photos, I only recently found them and had my tech savy son put them up for me.

That was somewhere around the Bolen Pass, wasn't it Tom?
