Sunday, April 16 - Harvards Over Kenya

Post by ratty »

On 27 March 1953, twelve Harvards of No. 1340 Flight RAF arrived at RAF Eastleigh, Nairobi, Kenya, to assist in the response to the Mau Mau uprising. Armed with eight 20 lb fragmentation bombs and single Browning .303 machine guns under the starboard wings, they were deployed forward from Eastleigh to Nyeri airfield, which lies between Mount Kenya and the Aberdare Range.

On this flight from Eastleigh to Nyeri we will take the opportunity to reconnoitre the local area (and watch for signs of rebel activity).
