7. Entebbe had no oxygen facilities either, so next day we remain
low level and pass over the north east corner of the Lake. This flight took place in April, in the middle of the long rains; hence the amount of cloud that can be seen.
8. Approaching
the Rift Valley and the N'Gong Hills at a level among the Flamingo's, Pelican's and Stork's of Nakuru, meant we were approaching the circuit of Eastleigh. The Hunter's of 208 used Embakasi at a later date, due the fairly short runways of Eastleigh. Sadly, we would only spend the night of arrival in Nairobi, before returning north, to Abu Sueir.
9. Next day, airborne, we climbed out over the huts and 
villages of East Africa, and, set off for the only night-stop on the return at Entebbe. Leaving early the following morning, and 5 hrs 30 mins flight time later, we broke into the circuit at Abu Sueir. 'Twinkle' Storey, and others, have said that it was a time of belonging to "a very good flying club". It was also a time when a military machine was not met with fear, and, friends were made along the way! A very good exercise.
