Pioneer aviators: Sir Richard Atcherley, Sir Alan Cobham, Charles Dollfus, E.C. Gordon England, Cecil Pashley, Sir Thomas Sopwith, C.H. Watkins recall their first experiences of flying.

"The only way to learn to fly was to go and teach yourself... most of us did our first flight involuntarily. One looked over the side and found the ground had gone. Well, there you were, you were in the air and you'd got to do something about it!"

Introduced by Jeffery Boswall

The expedition explores one of the most beautiful subterranean watercourses in the world.
On the floor of the Great Rift Valley lies Lake Abiata, perhaps the best bird-watching spot in the world. It is home to the Great White Pelican and an unrivalled variety of water birds, including the Black Heron whose fishing technique has to be seen to be believed.
