Jovanka,

1. Yes it appears on sh17 of 2nd edition
2. 2nd edition sheet is 1962, but is just 1st edition with UTM grid
overlaid.


British Honduras, 1:50,000, series E757, ed.2-GSGS, sh.17
Looks pretty much identical to first edition, apart from addition of
1km UTM grid, and lat/long coords at sheet corners.
no change in compilation info between eds1 and 2.
UTM grid added by No.1 SPC.RE 1962.
Published by  D Survey, War Office and Air Ministry, 1962.
