My late father Ken Crossley was an ATCO in East Africa in early ‘60’s - ‘60/‘61 based in Zanzibar as the Congo disintegrated with EAA aircraft pressed into refugee service, us Zanzibari’s were held over at school in Nairobi and pressed into assisting refugee arrival at Nairobi Primary - not pleasant as 12 year old!!!
’61/‘63 he was based in Mombasa and there we witnessed numerous USAF and contractor aircraft running airlifts of various Asian countries to and from Congo - most memorable being a C-133 - Dad needed my Observers to get a guesstimate of weight to check if Mombasa runway could take the weight
