Weather followed by Into Africa
Narrator Anthony Hopkins Every year, like birds migrating south, a few hundred men take to the air and fly to Africa - in the spirit of the first aviators, for the pleasure of living dangerously. Their job? To seed thunderclouds, spray locusts, dust crops and fly emergency missions from the roughest of strips.
'It must be the last frontier of true flying,' they say, 'real seat-of-the-pants stuff - low, fast, dangerous.' For men like Abercromby-Dick,
Max Lacey and Paddy McKay it's the only way to live. Producer NADIA HAGGAR Series editor TIM SLESSOR
