Lawrence of Arabia's secret camp found

A secret desert camp used by Lawrence of Arabia has been found intact almost 100 years after he left it.
Lawrence, whose exploits would be immortalised by Peter O'Toole in the epic 1962 film Lawrence of Arabia, was born in north Wales in 1888 and learned Arabic on an archaeological dig in Syria.
The hideout in modern-day Jordan was still littered with spent cartridges and broken gin bottles when a team of archaeologists found it - thanks to an RAF pilot's vaguely-sketched map.
It was used as a vital base by Thomas Edward Lawrence, the British intelligence officer who would pass into legend for his guerilla raids against Turkish forces in the First World War.
But the camp would have gone unnoticed for many years more had it not been for a chance discovery in the National Archives.
John Winterburn, an archaeologist at Bristol University, found a loosely-sketched map from 1918 by a pilot who recalled the camp from memory after a reconnaisance flight.
He scoured through images on Google Earth to find a part of the desert which matched the drawing in a 10-year investigation called the Arab Revolt Project.
Finally he found the small camp, which Lawrence said was 'behind the toothed hill facing Tell Shahm station', in November 2012 exactly where he predicted it would be.
TE Lawrence stayed at the camp in 1917 and 1918 and was joined by British officers who were used to a higher standard of accommodation - having driven across the desert in armoured Rolls-Royces.`
