The final destination was New Salisbury in Rhodesia to display in the Rhodes Centenary Air Rally.
The route down was Wunstorf, Istres, Luqa, El Adem, Fayid, Wadi Halfa, Khartoum, Juba, Entebbe, Tabora, Lusaka, New Salisbury.
We did not have underwing drop tanks at that time, just tip tanks. We left Wunstorf in Germany on 29th May 1953 and arrived at New Salisbury on 8th June 1953.
