Excellent website.
I was brought up in Kenya in the 50s. As a retirement project I am researching the history of civil aviation in East Africa from 1925 - 1965. As part of that research I am building a collection of photographs of a/c that appeared on the Kenyan Colonial Register VP-K**.
I would be interested to have copies of any suitable photos. In particular I am looking for the following aircraft that served with EAAC:
VP-KCU deH 89A Rapide
VP-KDG deH 104 Dove 1
VP-KFE -KHA -KHE -KHY -KIA -KIB Lockheed Lodestar
VP-KNU VP-KTS Douglas C47.
Any help would be most welcome.
Intend to be at the reunion this year.

Hello Everyone,
My mother Mariam Fadhil worked for East African Airways until 1977. She was also one of the crew in the Addis Ababa crash of 1972.
Perhaps some of you worked with her?
She will be happy to hear about this website.

Hello and thanks for a great website reflecting EAAC.
I Wonder if it is possible to know which of the individual fleet of super VC-10s which visited Oslo and the old Fornebu airport in april 28th 1976 to carry former president of Tanzania Julius Nyerere for an official state visit?
Would be happy to know
Best regards from Ole Johan Beck

I first flew EAA (VC10) in October 1965 and frequently within EA from then till 1971 - Tanga to Zanzibar (Friendship), Nairobi to Kasese for Kilembe mines (DC3), Nairobi to London (VC10) - some others which could have been EAA I flew myself as a member of the Aero Club in Nairobi. My leather briefcase still shows an oval patch which was the EAA baggage sticker - it reminds me of great piloting and great passenger experiences, sometimes up front which was negotiable in these days! I may be able to dig up some pictures which I'll post on this site.

Ran the EAA Data Center at the airport from 1974 through 1977, and through liquidation. Great days because I worked with great people.

I've been busy with project on the DC-3 / C-47 in South African service for a few years, and as a couple of ex-SA Dak airframes ended up with EAA I decided to read Peter J Davis' book to follow-up on these aircraft. I've just finished the book for the second time in two weeks......what an incredible story !! The sad reality is it serves as a shining example of the fate that befell so many companies throughout Africa over the years.....but for the political will to succeed EAA would today still be occupying the space newbies are attempting to fill with varying degrees of success.
Of particular interest to me are six Dakota airframes - VP-KJP (5Y-AAD), VP-KJQ (5Y-AAE), VP-KJS (5X-AAR), VP-KKI (5H-AAL), VP-KNU, and VP-KTS (5X-AAS).
Could anyone shed any light on what happened to them when EAA closed? Does anyone have images of these particular airframes in service they would be willing to make available?
