... the fabulous documentary "The Last African Flying Boat".
Catalina fans will be pleased to learn that the Catalina in that documentary is still flying as ZK-PBY in NZ:


I was intrigued by the deviation of the Egypt/Sudan border on Max Tow's map and had to look it up. The deviation was made for British Colonial convenience!

I also note the now-submerged Jebel Shaitan southeast of Wadi Halfa - in English, it is Devil's Mountain.
