1. The Kidnapping
The 1931 mystery of a hijacked plane - and passenger Hugh Conway's arrival at the lamasery of Shangri-La. Stars Derek Jacobi.
During May 1931, the revolutionary situation in Baskul worsened and Air Force machines arrived from Peshawar to evacuate the residents.
A few miscellaneous aircraft were also employed - among them one lent by the Maharajah of Chandapore.
Four passengers took off in this plane: Miss Roberta Brinklow, of the Eastern Mission; Henry D Barnard, a US citizen; Hugh Conway, HM Consul; and Captain Charles Mallinson, HM Vice-Consul.
Mysteriously none of them reached their destination...
