Ambassador Robert Goad and other diplomats buy bicycles while work schedules shift to end lunch trips home.

Royal Air Force transports and Canadian air crews begin daily lifts from Tanzania and Congo as overland truck convoys move fuel toward the railhead at Mikumi. Muddy rainy-season days complicate the operation.
