Re your comments #11151 #11153 about the Burma photos that had appeared in the Daily Mail I’ve had a look at the photo of the two airmen in a rickshaw I think Ian has it right as having been taken on the Durban seafront.
I say this with experience because in August 1953 I’d hitch-hiked down to Durban from 5 FTS, RAF Thornhill in S. Rhodesia and whilst in Durban was photographed in a rickshaw on the Durban seafront with the rickshaw driver sporting a similar headdress – see photos below.
One other memory from my trip to Durban 64-years ago was that one could go on a bus tour into Zululand and photograph Zulus in their homeland going about their daily chores such as this photo I took of a bare-breasted Zulu maiden grinding Maize into mealie-meal.
What one could do in the RAF in those days!
