However I am part of a history society that is hosting an event in September for the 50th Anniversary of the expulsion of Asians from Uganda by the then President Idi Amin many of those expelled were initially housed at RAF Stradishall, near Haverhill in Suffolk before being dispersed to the Midlands and North of England. We are putting together an exhibition marking the 50th Anniversary in September of this year and are looking to trace anybody involved.
Were you part of a crew of East African Airways or BOAC VC 10 or Boing 707/727,? Do you have any images we could borrow ?
do you know anybody involved in the evacuation ?
were you part of the evacuation that landed at Stansted and was billeted in Stradishall ?
Waiting in anticipation, thank you for reading
I know Lloyd International Airways 707's to Stansted brought in refugees. I saw TV clips of that.
