Meat from Nairobi

"Kenya Cold" was the Company that did the packs of meat (and fruit and veg) based in downtown Nairobi (off Arthur Ellis Avenue if memory serves ?) they knew all the schedules and would deliver to both Eastleigh and Embakasi, they also supplied cartons of fresh milk for the home runs to K/sar, remember C in C - JEJ had a standing order with them, his took priority and it was he who had the earth shipped back to K/Sar, when the trucks turned up at Embakasi on the first run (XP439) with the soil the natives started loading without any protective covering on the floor by the shovelful, until the Loadie "Eddie W", stopped proceedings and sent them away until the soil was bagged, still awful messy, I only did one soil run !, that was plenty.

Changing subject who was the Yank exchange pilot who landed at Matsapa with the brakes on ?????? it had happened at Benson with a Yank exchange pilot early on in 62 as well.
