Flight in Miles M-18 to Bulawayo, Rhodesia by Brian Iles and Sandy Sanderson - 20Jul to 30Aug54.
Part 8 - Return Flight - Luxor to El Adem.


          Video showing M18-16 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.   This is the final flight from Luxor to Cairo Airport from 1000 hrs to 1300 hrs on Sunday 22nd August 1954.   There is a formation take-off filmed from another light aircraft, which maybe from Luxor Airport.   Some of the airborne shots maybe of the Great Pyramid near Luxor.   Then there are tourist shots round Cairo as they took a break.   There are some nice sunbathing shots of Sandy by the pool I assume it is either the Cairo Officers' Mess or Club?   There are some shots around Cairo and various forms of transport.   After some camel riding there are shots of the pyramids and the Sphinx.   (4 mins 26 secs/53 mins 6 secs/5 mins 49 secs/2 mins 54 secs/1 min 27 secs)
