MessageHerewith answers to some of your queries/comments
Robert Onraet started off with EAA in the Freight Dept at Wilson or Eastleigh and subsequently moved between Kampala, Nairobi and Mombasa. I knew him well.
Neil Todd moved to Capetown and passed away 10 years ago +/-. His wife was still alive at the time.
MOMBO Airport, the agent around 1960 was Bob Bellairs who moved to Port Elizabeth.
I have met Steve Groombridge on several occasions, in Nairobi when I drove his father Harold from the airport to meet up with his little boys at school !!! He moved to Plettenberg Bay in SA and died there about 11 years ago.
John Maspero and I worked together at Nairobi airport way back then, after he moved from his farm.
Anyone out there have any info on John Hayes or V J Shah who both moved to the UK way back in the 60s ???

MessageHi,
My father Henry Williams worked for EAA late 50's, early 60's.
I am trying to track down Neal Todd and his wife if they are still alive. Both were very good friends of my mother Jean Williams who sadly passed away in 1999.

MessageJust came across your website by chance and it brought back many happy childhood memories.
I grew up in Kenya as my father worked out there for a number of years and we quite often flew to UK with East African Airways at least oonce a year.
It is nice to see a dedicated website to recall all the memories of what I still say to this day was one of the best Airlines.
