Ugandan Diaries: Charles Powell (Series 4, Part 6 of 10).

Charles Powell was a senior manager in British Caledonian Airways from 1969 until 1986.
He dealt with many of the airline's biggest issues in those years including the airlift of Ugandan Asians from Entebbe to the UK in 1972. British Caledonian carried around 70% of all those forced to leave Uganda at the time.
Ugandan Diaries is an add-on series to the three-part Ugandan Journeys, a set of video programmes to document the stories of British volunteers who aided the Asian migrants forced to leave Uganda by Idi Amin in 1972/3. The programmes further include testimonies from residents and people who worked in the camps. The Ugandan Diaries offer a wider perspective of the Ugandan expulsion from the specific camp testimonies of the Ugandan Journeys.
This oral history project - British Ugandan Asians at 50 (BUA50.ORG) - is the production of the India Overseas Trust with the support of The National Lottery Heritage Fund. It is an integral part of British volunteering heritage and an extraordinary historical episode that helped shape
modern Britain's diversity.
