| Message | I ran the IBM S/370 Data Center at Nairobi airport from 1974 to 1977, a 24 hour operation, 2 mainframes running back-to-back. I had so many good Kenyan friends there as I maintained a local Kenyan staff only, no expats, as tape librarians, computer operators, programmers, systems analysts, and data entry staff. What a wonderful time at EAA. A lot of Tuskers ! My only regret was that it was all pre-internet. I left Kenya in 84, again 10 years pre-internet, meaning I lost contact will all my EAA friends. We developed the first online real-time reservations system called AIRS, a product that my whole department could be very very proud of. I miss them. I have not been able to find any of my buddies, men and women, from that time. Darn! -Ric |

| Message | Enjoyed my time in EAAC in the early '60s. A bunch of us joined, known collectively and colloquially as the 'Grand Nationals' since the Company could not attract enough Licensed Engineers so advertised for Engineers qualified to Higher National Certificate standard with relevant experience in aviation to come out to Nairobi; 15 of us did. We worked mainly on the Comet aircraft but also on the Daks, Argonauts and F27 with the occasional DH 86 Rapide of SKAT thrown in! Happy days - but hard work at times! |

| Message | In the 1970s I regularly watched EAA Super VC-10s flying in and out of London's Heathrow airport: a magnificent aircraft in a very smart livery. Such a pity that it all had to come to an end. |

| Message | Just found your site whilst browsing the net. Travelled to Nairobi on EAA VC10 in 1974 as a young travel agent on my first exciting famtrip. My memory's not what it used to be but I remember the group leader was Mr Johnston Okatoyu (may be spelled wrongly). Most impressive man, great company and very kind to us young travel buffs. He may have been London based at one time. Just curious to know if he's still to the fore. Great site, brought back many memories of a trip of a lifetime. Saw a post from David Hunter ex Glasgow Sales Manager. How are you old boy? |
