    Checked the whole video on Youtube, and the Trinidad segment seemed more like 45 seconds, Ian.
    It seemed to me that the motorcade was moving at a faster pace, with a lot more security in Uruguay than in Trini..
    I wonder why?

    Ian Franklin, the T&T government probably has some of that panorama footage on video tape, rotting away in the old Rum Bond in Laventille!

    Thanks Pan Times. The last 9 seconds of this footage was shot in Trinidad.

    Too bad that no one has footage of panorama from 1963 through 1976 (lol)
