This, I know, this is a long shot. Does any one have a photo of G-AGHM wearing the Kenya marks VP-KGI? It was, by the way, the first DC3/C47 on the Kenyan register... It was only on the Kenya register for about a year.
Also looking for a photo of sister ship VP-KGL. Both Dakotas were registered to Skyways (East Africa) Ltd. for about a year in 1949. They were apparently chartered to the Overseas Food Corporation ( The Groundnut Scheme ?!!!). When East African Airways obtained their Dakotas, they took over the flights and -KGI & -KGL returned to the U.K.
VP-KGL later become PH-SSM of Fairways of Rotterdam. G-AGHM and PH-SSM visited Southampton (Eastleigh) in the early
to mid 60s, possibly even sharing the apron. Both Cambrian and Fairways operating schedules through Eastleigh.
