1954/55 from Hobart to London in an 80"

[260AC]

Hi All,

Many of you may or may not have read of this Expedition from 'The Motor 31st August 1955' called 'Operation Roverland'

If not you can get it here,

http://www.lrsoc.com/forum/forum_files/Motor1955.pdf

It covers a Mr H. Hill-Venning and a Mr K.J.B Teesdale and Mrs Teesdale who completed the trip covering some 32,000 miles in 1954/55.

Why I ask is I was looking up a few things the other day here in the UK and found a few really good photos of them having arrived at Solihull in the Land Rover.

I can't let you see the pics yet but does anyone know anything more of this trip or anything else of the participants???

Hi
A bit late to the party but Mrs Teasdale was my Aunt, I have all her letters home from the trip plus photos etc, she had always intended to make a book from the trip.

As an owner from Hobart , Tasmania that would be a wonderful book.
What sort of help would you need?

Maybe a PM, he's only made two posts, both over six months ago.
