I used to have a colleague who, as a teenager, was amongst the Muslims expelled. He ended up being a much respected civil engineer specialising in airfield design. Unfortunately he hasn't yet attended any of our occasional pub reunions though he wasn't averse to an occasional soft drink with us in the pub on a Friday. I suspect he is also circumspect about gatherings at the moment for health reasons but if he attends our next one in a fortnight, I'll try and remember to talk to him about this. I don't have his contact details. We used to chat about East Africa as I lived in Kenya at the time and returned to Blighty shortly after the expulsions took place.
