Feathered Messengers
Various shots at a desert base of the
Middle East Pigeon Service, where we see baskets of pigeons being loaded onto a
land rover. The baskets are unloaded at a remote patrol outpost.
The outpost has recently received information from a patrol that needs to be relayed back to headquarters. A message in code is attached to the leg of one of the pigeons and he sets off on his journey.
