D'Arcy's chief geologist, Ronald MacLean planned to reconnoiter Application 121's southern territory-on the ground. This was after completion of the June 15, 1958 aerial survey. The idea was to evaluate the area that MacLean wanted to give back to Libya.
So, at the end of June, 1958, MacLean, Sheridan, and a surveyor by the name of Richard M. "Slinger" Woods set out by truck, to inspect the region. At this point, whatever plans Sheridan may have had for making a detour to the crashed Liberator, were derailed early on. The whole survey had to be abandoned almost immediately, because Sheridan's truck broke down in the extreme heat.
