Video showing M18-12 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.   More flying over the plains with plenty of shots of rhinoceros, elephants, giraffes and buffalo.   They fly over many small villages near the river, some of which appear to be flooded.   They fly past what looks like a large country house with a large oval drive.   Finally landing at a fairly large airfield, where they get help with the map reading from the local natives, show the airfield building, a steam roller and some long grass clearance.   The final shots are of the control tower and the signals square.

There is no sound with this clip.   This clip runs for 3 mins 13 secs.

(Thanks to Toby Iles for original film.)
