Could anyone tell me where I can find any video footage of the Fugitives Trail and surrounding countryside taken from the air?

As I recall, Ron Lock has produced an excellent video of the battle and I feel sure that this includes air footage. I cannot be entirely certain of the extent to which it goes down the Trail. In any case, the video is wll worth the modest price.

Hi Melvin.

I bought a copy of it at Isandlwana last
September during the 1879 group tour.
I think it will do for what you want.

Best wishes.

Melvin,
the video is the easy (girls' blouse) way of seeing the trail. You should walk it and get completeley knackered as I did. Then swim the Buffalo River. It will give some idea of what the fugitives' endured.

Alan,
I (and my wife) did indeed walk the trail last October. (Read the "Your stories" link) and I did indeed marvel at what it must have been like on that day in 1879. What a nightmare it must have been.
