![]() ![]() ![]() 28 minute account of 5 week tour through loads of islands, some newly independent, others about to. Taken from ![]() The Queen on Tour (COI Collection Volume Seven) 2-dvd set. Can't find a full copy online but some parallel newsreel reports with same footage as short excerpts - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E538lH_-avA , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_55lLAR0fs , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNovsuuDYm8 etc (but I doubt if they'll add anything useful to the posted entries). Seems lots of good weather, visits to hospitals, banana plantations, receptions, more visits to hospitals, banana festivals, and so on. Everything done from Britannia so able to bring vehicles with her from UK and shipped round as they went. Crane for mike at Guyana bauxite mine ![]() Sugar pipelines at docks for bulk loading ![]() Instructions for vegetable gardeners ![]() Anyone want a Caption Competition?? ![]() Planes for impdb ![]() ![]() ![]() - it's a crop-spraying display for (cue drumroll) ..... bananas. |
