EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1968, we are introduced to the fearless team of explorers who are about to embark on an extraordinary journey down the treacherous Blue Nile. Pictured at Biggin Hill, we see five men and one brave young woman, a 20-year-old secretary named Jocelyn Etherington. Led by Captain Bill Sutton, these adventurers are prepared to face the most dangerous expedition on Earth. The team consists of Chris Loxton, a 36-year-old from Middlesex; Alex Low, a talented photographer hailing from Hampstead; Tom Stacey, a seasoned author and publisher residing in Stonegate, Sussex; Roger Burrows, a former pilot representing Shepherds Bush in London. And let's not forget the attractive Jocelyn Etherington herself. On the far right stands June Baker of Farnham in Surrey. Although she will only accompany them until Addis Ababa in Ethiopia as their radio contact person for communication with the outside world during their two-month-long adventure. This incredible expedition comes with a hefty price tag of £7000 and commences at Lake Tana in Ethiopia before concluding at Khartoum in Sudan. The photograph captures both excitement and determination radiating from each member's face as they prepare themselves mentally and physically for what lies ahead. These courageous individuals embody true exploration spirit as they set out into uncharted territories aboard light aircrafts. Their story is one that will be etched into history books forever - an inspiring tale of bravery against all odds amidst the vastness of nature's wonders.
