A fascinating account of a Gipsy Moth crash in Northern Rhodesia in 1935 and the subsequent search and rescue.

A very interesting item for me as I believe she bought this particular aircraft from Nigel Norman (of Airwork) when he flew down there to carry out a study for the Beit Trust. He arrived in Bulawayo on 27 February 1933. The aircraft was G-ABND but I have been unable to prove the connection.
