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

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.

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

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.

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 Elio Marotta

My father (Harold Groombridge) worked as the EAA station manager in Aden from 1959-63. I as an 8/9 year old boy used to fly back and forth to boarding school in Nairobi and remember well the odd occasion sitting on a captain's knee "flying the plane" - those were the days. Harold has gone to the clouds to fly his spitfire
