Video showing M18-5 clip from Brian Iles's film of his return flight from RAF Jever to Bulawayo, Africa in his Miles M-18 light aircraft on Tuesday 20th July 1954.   This clip seems to have been taken somewhere between Cairo and Bulawayo, Rhodesia - the final destination - from Sunday 25th July 1954 to Friday 30th July 1954.   There are various shots of perhaps the Nile and then some dramatic footage of the Victoria Falls which is on the border between what is today Zambia and Zimbabwe.   There is a clear shot of the road bridge joining the two countries.   The final scenes are probably taken over the outskirts of Bulawayo shortly before arrival.

There is no sound with this clip.   This clip runs for 36 secs.

(Thanks to Toby Iles for original film.)
