Flight in Miles M-18 to Bulawayo, Rhodesia by Brian Iles and Sandy Sanderson - 20Jul to 30Aug54.
Part 7 - Return Flight - Unknown Airfield to Luxor.


          Video showing M18-14 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.   Another leg flying alongside what is presumed to be the River Nile.   There is a strange white pointed building and some signs of flooding.  There are views over a much larger city on the banks of the river, which maybe Wadi Halfa?   Finishes with yet more locals watching the refuelling.   (2 mins 7 secs/23 mins 15 secs/2 mins 33 secs/1 min 16 secs/38 secs)
