Oxford and Cambridge Far Eastern Expedition

The book is the main source of information about the expedition and its fullest account, as the footage and subsequent programmes made with it only cover a small portion of what the six students did and experienced on their long journey.

On the 50th Anniversary of the Expedition, the five surviving members (all except Henry Nott) traveled once more to the Far East and recreated the last leg of their journey, covering the 350 km from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore on 4 March 2006.

At the age of 87, Tim Slessor and historian and filmmaker Alex Bescoby in one of the original Land Rovers, "Oxford", planned re-creating the first London to Singapore trip by doing it in reverse.

These team build with Multi international Team, Larry Leong from Singapore as Safety officer, Marcus Alleander from Uk as Manager Expedition, Dr Silverius Purba from Indonesia as doctor, Mechanic, main driver for Oxford, David Israeli from USA as videographer, Leopold from France as Videographer, TB from France as Social Media expert.

Recently they have been re-mastered and edited, with a commentary by the cameraman Antony Barrington-Brown and Tim Slessor, and interviews with Nigel Newbery, Pat Murphy, Adrian Cowell and Sir David Attenborough.
