Southern Rhodesia – photo album from John Keay

This photo album was passed on by Lawrence Scott for inclusion here. The photographs date mostly from 1950/51, and are of operations in Southern Rhodesia, except for the first few, which presumably were taken en route to Rhodesia in Fairey’s Dakota G-AKNM.

Most of the photographs have notes on the back, so they have been included as is, rather than having captions which might be incorrect interpretations.

Click on the links to open, then you should be able to enlarge the images enough to read the writing on the backs of the photos.  Putting the pictures in as ‘jpg’ photographs didn’t work – it wasn’t possible to enlarge them enough to read the notes.  If anyone wants the digital pictures, please get in touch using the ‘Contact’ page, and they can be sent by email.
