Like your father, I too was in Rhodesia (5 FTS RAF Thornhill) from 1951 to 1953 as a ground radio operator and have contributed extensively to this and other forums about my time there complete with a large number of photos.
To see some of what I have posted here on PPRuNe I suggest you do an "Advanced Search" in the Search column and in the Keyword Box enter 5 FTS and in the Username box enter Warmtoast. The results should keep you or your father entertained for a little while!
