April 17, 1921. Sir Herbert Samuel's visits Transjordan for the second time.


The first time was a bit of a disaster as the British government had to renounce certain proclamations that Sir Herbert had made.


This time went better.  Quite a turn out was there in recognition of the official nature of the event, including the Bedouins depicted above.

Transportation wasn't limited to the old fashioned and traditional, however.  British aircraft were present at the Amman airfield.



T. E. Lawrence, no longer in mufti, appeared to meet old friends.
