1955...Nasser raises the Egyptian flag over the Suez Canal Zone. Does anyone recognise the location ? The video is dated 1955 and notes " Date on dope sheet 25/3/1955 ." Does anyone else know anything about this event and know the location ? It appears to me that the reviewing stand was used again in Cairo in 1956 for the official take over parade which even included Egyptian Ski Troops !!! I never saw any snow on Mt Shubra....did you ? There is a third celebration video but this took place at Port Said Aerodrome.
