This is wonderful material. Wherever do you find this stuff? You are like a gold mine that keeps on giving, that never runs out. Keep it up.
Further to your second last item - "Early days of SAAF at primitive airfields in NFD of Kenya", I am reminnded of my National Srrvice in the northern Transvaal in 1969 at a place aclled Greefswald, today's Mapangupwe National Park. We were the first unit into the area after the Engineers had flattened a primitive airstrip in the bush using bulldozers and built a basic hilltop camp fed with water from the Limpopo. The vegetation was awesome, as was the fauna. Politcis aside for once, it was the best worst time of my life, a real Boys Own adventure. I had never been in Africa before despite growing up in Cape Town. My uncle was one of those Springbok UDF troops who went to Kenya who came home with legendary tales of his time in Italian East Africa. However, the war in Italy left him scarred.
Many thanks for this hugely impressive material!
Thanks Steve, The reason I had a lot of material is that I have collected for 82 years. Now most of it is locked away overseas and I only get to play with the images. Besides collecting, I enjoyed my years in uniform and had many 'Boy (and girls) Own' adventures in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Kenya, SWA and South Africa.
