Synopsis

Bechaunaland. Arrival of work party by lorry in open rolling grass country. Tools and equipment taken from lorry. Hole dug to take the feet of tubular steel tripod tower which is then built up in sections by the African work team. View from the top when work finished in the construction of the tall tower. (Could this be a mast for telecommunications rather than an observation mast?) The footage lasts for some 7 mins with some good close shots.
