Nose of the de Havilland Dragon plane with name "Trail of the Caribou" on it. Two men standing in front of plane - Captain L G Reid from Canada and his aid, J R Ayling, an Englishman. In trying to achieve their goal - to fly from Canada to Iraq, they had to stop in London. Captain Reid starts speaking - natural sound. He talks about his disappointment for not achieving the goal - flying to Baghdad without breaks but he is happy to have flown to England, that is a great achievement too. He talks about flight conditions etc. Jimmy Ayling also talks about the flight. |
