A selection of photos kindly provided by (and copyright of) <\/strong>Antony Barrington Brown from the 1955\/6 First Overland Expedition.<\/p>\n

50 years ago six students from Oxford and Cambridge set out in two Land-Rovers to drive from London to Singapore.<\/p>\n

Tim Slessor’s book of the Expedition, ‘First Overland’, has been a classic ever since, and it has now been re-printed by Signal Books<\/a> to celebrate the 50th Anniversary.\u00ac\u2020 But the Expedition only went ahead because its financial viability was assured by David Attenborough when he commissioned 3 films for the BBC. They were shot in colour by Antony Barrington-Brown (‘BB’).<\/p>\n

The original film footage from the 1955 Oxford & Cambridge Far Eastern Expedition is now available on DVD<\/a> <\/b><\/i>having been re-mastered and edited, with a commentary by BB and Tim Slessor.<\/p>\n<\/div>
