Video showing M18-9 clip from Brian Iles's film of his return flight from RAF Jever to Bulawayo, Africa in his Miles M-18 light aircraft beginning on Tuesday 20th July 1954 and starting their return on Monday 16th August 1954.   The clip opens with shots from the M-18 as it gets airborne from Bulawayo and circling over the farewell party by the hangars on the ground.   It then shows shots of Bulawayo from the air with the distinctive power station cooling towers.   Then there are various shots flying back up Africa including a refuel at some place on the route.   They are welcomed by uniformed officers and there are Harvards seen in the background.   This might be Khartoum.   If anyone knows where they were operating Harvards in 1954 in this part of Africa, please let me know.

There is no sound with this clip.   This clip runs for 1 min 13 secs.

(Thanks to Toby Iles for original film.)
