Whilst resting from a long day riding, TE Lawrence reclines on the hot sand and gazes across the scorching desert landscape. As if riding from the sky itself, a mysterious figure descends upon the British intelligence agent and his guide. Before the he can grasp the gravity of the situation, the mysterious rider is an arms length away and his guide is slain. Ian and Will talk about mirages; what they are, how they work, and where else we see the underlying principle elsewhere in daily life.
