East African Airways Rapides

My Dad was an ATCO in East Africa from 1954 to 1966, amongst his various postings was Paradise sorry Zanzibar and had various flights in East African Airways Rapides in the period 1955 to 1960 mainly to Dar, Tanga and once to Pemba

!957 had a trip in one out of Blackpool - think it was a 'freebie' as Dad was doing some post Bournemouth training there

Also in '58? had a flight in a Caspair Rapide out of Entebbe (Caspereuthus was a friend of Dads)
