VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage black and white map highlighting the Royal Air Force (R. A. F. ) West African Flight covering 12, 000 miles. The flight path includes locations such as El Obeid, Ouagadougou, Accra, Freetown, Tamacunda, and Bathurst. It indicates that the route was flown to schedule by 216 (B. T. ) Squadron with Vickers "Victoria" troop carriers. The image also features illustrations of two airplanes flying over the outlined path across Africa. At the bottom of the image is a mention of Vickers (Aviation) Limited Weybridge. This map likely served both as an informational piece about this specific R. A. F operation and possibly as promotional material for Vickers aircraft during that era. The map itself shows various countries in North and West Africa with some labeled in English or their colonial names at that time—for instance, Italian Libya—reflecting historical geopolitical boundaries which have since changed.
