20Th ANNIVERSARY of CENTRAL AFRICAN AIRWAYS (CAA) Issued 1St June 1966 20th ANNIVERSARY OF CENTRAL AFRICAN AIRWAYS (CAA) Issued 1st June 1966 The following is extracted from R. C. Smith’s book “Rhodesia - A Postal History” (pages 432 to 434) “To commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the formation of Central African Airways, the Ministry of Posts issued a set of four postage stamps on 1st June, 1966. The issue was printed by Mardon Printers (Pvt.) Ltd., by the offset litho process. The four values depicted three aircraft used by the Corporation during its service in Central Africa and one was a pure jet aircraft which was to be introduced in the future. In fact this aircraft should have been in service at the time the stamps were issued, but the British Government, in pursuance of its policy of retribution against Rhodesia, refused to allow the aircraft to be supplied. At the time the stamps were being printed negotiations with the British Government had reached a critical stage, and in order to avoid any embarrassment it was decided that the jet to be depicted on the 5s value be called 'Jet of the future' and not specifically named BAC1-11, which was the aircraft ordered. The other stamps were as follows: De Havilland Dragon Rapide (value 6d.). The first De Havilland Rapide was acquired by Rhodesia and Nyasaland Airways (the forerunner of Central African Airways) in 1935 and two years later three more were brought into service. The Rapide was an improved version of the earlier Dragon, and was a biplane powered by two 200 h.p. Gipsy VI engines. It had a cruising speed of 120 miles per hour, with a still range of 475 miles and could accommodate five passengers. Douglas DC3 (value is. 1s3d.). One of the most successful transport aircraft ever produced was the Douglas DCs, which is generally known as the 'Dakota'. There are over 1,000 DC3s in service around the world, and Central African Airways purchased its first DC3 in 1953, and the current fleet of seven aircraft continues to provide indispensable service to the Central African Airways Group, comprising of the three partner airlines, namely Air Rhodesia, Malawi Airways, and Zambia Airways. Vickers Viscount (value 2s6d). When Central African Airways took delivery of its first Viscount on 25th April, 1956, the airline entered a new era. Powered by four Rolls-Royce Dart jet-prop engines and fitted to carry 57 passengers at 300 miles per hour, the Viscount set new standards of reliability, speed and comfort on the Central African Airways route system. Jets of the Future (value 5s). Although the jet depicted does not necessarily indicate the type of aircraft which will be used by Central African Airways in the future, the illustration does in fact show the original aircraft ordered (B.A.C. One Eleven). At the time of writing the whole future of the airline is in doubt as the Zambian Government has indicated that it wishes the present arrangements to be terminated. This would mean that each of the former territories would operate its own individual airline, but this is unlikely to prevent the successor airline in Rhodesia from obtaining its jet aircraft when circumstances permit.” Quite why this set was issued is difficult to understand. On 1st March 1964, CAA formed three subsidiary companies – Air Rhodesia, Air Malawi and Zambia Airways. However, CAA were to open other routes after this date: ~ 1 ~ • 18th April 1964 – service inaugurated between Ndola and Salima • 9th February, 1966 – Air Malawi in conjunction with East Africa Airways and CAA started a service between Blantyre and Ndola. This replaced the CAA service from Salisbury to Nairobi, which now terminated at Ndola • October 1966 – CAA open service between Salisbury and Beira • December 1966 – CAA took over Rhodesian Air Services routes for Bulawayo – Fort Victoria; Salisbury – Buffalo Range; and the service to Vilanculous, Mozambique. CAA was eventually dissolved on 1st August 1967, after, no doubt, agreement had been reached to split the assets between the three airlines.7 THE ISSUED STAMPS Catalogue Listings SG2 RSC3 Value Description Print colours 393 C72 6d De Havilland “Rapide” Blue, black, orange & yellow a.

  • The Fall of Portuguese Colonial Rule in Africa Marks the Beginning of the Last Stage of the Struggle to Liberate All Africa from European Political Domination
    ENTERING 1975 WITH THE LIBERATION STRUGGLE IN AFRICA The fall of Portuguese colonial rule in Africa marks the beginning of the last stage of the struggle to liberate all Africa from European political domination. The previous stage, which began with the successful Gold Coast revolution that freed Ghana in 1957, has now ended in victory. Though neo-colonialism remains a serious danger that imperialism poses to all of independent Africa, the struggle against this form of imperialist penetration will sharpen as the struggle to free Zimbabwe, Azania, and Namibia from the illegal governments of Rhodesia and South Africa reaches its conclusion. Now that Angola no longer guards the Namibian flank, and Mozambique doesn't shield half of the Zimbabwe frontier for white Rhodesia, the armed liberation struggle, particularly in Zimbabwe, has been immeasurably strengthened. When the people of Zimbabwe overthrow the Ian Smith government, the northern frontier of Azania will be naked, exposing the Transvaal region, the source of South Africa's great riches and prestige, to easy armed attack from the north. Of course, this will not necessarily be the sequence of liberation. The Azanian people aren't sitting on their hands waiting for it to happen. Here is how the situation was described in the January 8 issue of Pretoria News: "The fuse is shortening on South Africa's most lethal time bomb. As politicians search for a new dispensation in the sub-continent which will release her wealth and power from the bondage of conflict, the very source of that wealth - South Africa's gold mining industry - is wracked by riot and stained by sudden death.

  • Fact Finding Airports Southern Africa
    2015 FACT FINDING SOUTHERN AFRICA Advancing your Aerospace and Airport Business FACT FINDING SOUTHERN AFRICA SUMMARY GENERAL Africa is home to seven of the world’s top 10 growing economies in 2015. According to UN estimates, the region’s GDP is expected to grow 30 percent in the next five years. And in the next 35 years, the continent will account for more than half of the world’s population growth. It is obvious that the potential in Africa is substantial. However, African economies are still to unlock their potential. The aviation sector in Africa faces restrictive air traffic regimes preventing the continent from using major economic benefits. Aviation is vital for the progress in Africa. It provides 6,9 million jobs and US$ 80 million in GDP with huge potential to increase. Many African governments have therefore, made infrastructure developments in general and airport related investments in particular as one of their priorities to facilitate future growth for their respective country and continent as a whole. Investment is underway across a number of African airports, as the region works to provide the necessary infrastructure to support the continent’s growth ambitions. South Africa is home to most of the airports handling 1+ million passengers in Southern Africa. According to international data 4 out of 8 of those airports are within South African Territory.
