Good to see a new site for EAA chat and contacts.
I joined EAA as an engineering apprentice in 1967. I was the station engineer at Heathrow Airporty and witnessed the last EAA flight into LHR.
I would like to get in touch with those who were in the engineering dept. at Embakasi
It's nice to see a website like this put up to remember EAA. Keep up the good work.
I WORKED IN UK SALES FROM 1967 TO 1973 WITH JOHN DUDLEY AND "SHIPPY SHIPMAN" GREAT WEBSITE & GREAT MEMORIES. LEFT IN 1773 TO JOIN BCAL AND MANY EX EAA FRIENDS WORKED THERE WITH BILL ROTHERO AND PAUL HANSPEL.
Hope you get many more ex EAA staff linking to this site - great idea.
I was the Scottish Manager from 1973 to the demise in 1977 - must look out some of my EAA photos and submit them to you.
Went on to Kenya Airways in London and Glasgow with many fond memories of EAA uk and kenya.
hi people my dad used to work for EAA as chief steward his name was roggers kassim rajab does anyone remember him
Hello, I have been searching for any information about EAA for quite sometime. I am glad that I was able to find this website. My late mother, Teddy Kabacubya was a hostess (flight attendant) from the start to the 1960's of the EAA airways. As a little kid by then, I used to admire her and she was my inspiration. Those were the good times.... I kept all her EAA airways pictures. Everyone who comes to my home would ask me.... who's that picture...Looks so beautiful. People would think that she worked in the Navy. I thinks it could be more helpful if we had pictures of all staff members who worked for EAA posted on website. Thank you so much for creating this website. Good job

couple of people in the album,Rod Gordon now

My father Cliff was with Airways for most off his working life.
My brother and I spent many weekends in the hangar with a container of paraffin and a brush cleaning some obscure part or other, it kept us busy and out of the way. My first visit to Britain was when he did the VC10 course.
Dad died of cancer in 2003.
Great website, so many fond childhood memories for me. My father, Stephen Cannon was engineer with EAA from 1972 to 1977. From Kenya we went on to Bahrain and then Kuwait. I became a cabin attendant with Gulf Air and then Britsh Airways through the 1990s.
My late father, Mr.Hassanali.Abdulali who died in 2004,had served EAA since its inception till it broke-up,in various fields as Ground Staff in Mombasa office. He had also tutored a lot of junior officers under him in ticketing & fare calculations.

Dear Sirs, I am a survivor passenger of the flight from Nairobi to London, via Addis Abeba which unfortunately crushed at the departure from Addis on 18th april 1972. Has the East african airways still in their archive data about this accident? Can you send me by mail a statement confirming my presence in the list of passengers? I would be grateful of your help.
Best regards
