The report has been typed up on a type writer and is in old fashioned purple ink. After some further digging I have discovered that there is also a British Pathe film of the expedition in Colour!
Some of the images shown in the film are quite simply amazing and its amazing to think that just 50 years ago there were still so many native tribes living with out human interference.
The account also refers to the lost city of El Dorado (Lost City of Gold) and Sir Walter Raleigh's explorations.
Of course the expedition naturally used Land Rovers, three this time and the going looks just as tough as when the 1955 team passed through Burma.
Another report goes into my Oxford and Cambridge archive
Amazing...
