G-APIN - Destroyed Kamina 1961
Dear All,
I am interested to know more about G-APIN which was reportedly destroyed after being bombed at KAMINA in CONGO in 1961.
In particular I would be interested to know the details of the pilot, operator etc but all information is welcome.
The plane seems to be associated with a Liverpool based company called "Starways".
Best
Bill

That's right. Though UN reports from the time suggest that some people were flown to Leopoldville for treatment following the attack.
A couple of days previously the pilot reported that he was attacked at night by a Katangan Fouga and I am keen to trace that pilot if I can.
