Did not realise LH were back into Nairobi, thought they were only cargo MD11 on the Frankfurt - Joburg v NBO route, used to meet their crew in Serena Hotel on ocassions. If I had to come down there I would look at using them to avoid LHR as northern UK based - in theory, as I go fishing at Hemingways Malindi some times in the winter. You are correct the BA 737 were Comair as I now re call, I think they may have packed up in about 2004 as I do not remember seeing them after that. As for KL and Delph pottery Gin houses, I think my wife has a street in her study - all still full as well !
Just noted that LH are operating A340-300 on the service. My experiance of that model of 340 is not great, would think it will be quite a long take off role from Nairobi with altitude and outside temps at certain times of the year. Have heard many jokes about the climbing rate, some suggestions about the curviture of the planet being involved !
