D uring the year, one more airline, namely, Pan-American World Airways was added to the n umber of heavy jet operators using Nairobi Airport. The introduction of a DC.S jet airliner by this new company, providing non-stop scheduled fli ghts between Lagos and Nairobi, opened the fi rst direct air lin k between Kenya and West Africa. This is a faci lity which has been longed for by many travellers in the past. The increase in Airport activities during the year is attributed partly to the active enterpri se by East African Airways, the national airline, in promoting local and intern ational fli ghts, a nd pa rtly to the promoti on of tourism by ali the other airlines using Nairobi Airpo rt. Compared with the corresponding fi gures of 1964, Appendices IH-Vll to this report reveal the following increases : - Civil Aircraft Movements 21 per cent Passengers handled 14 per cent Mail 4 per cent F reight 16 per cent Avia tion Fuel Uplift 24 per cent lt is inte resting to note thal Aviation F uel U plift, which dropped sharply in the latter half -o f 1963 owing to the withdrawal of South African Airways' Boeing 707's has increased conside rably during the period under review. With the further expansion of the tourist industry in East Africa, the average percentage increase in Ai rport activities is a nticipated to double itself by 1970. For this reason the pressing need to expand the existing airport facili ties cannot be over emphasized. The total number of staff employed by ali the organizations within the boundary of the Airp-ort was 3,444 as at 31st December 1965. Therefore an increase of 296 employees over the 1964 fi gure of 3,148. PART 1-WORKS OF THE DEPARTMENT 1. Operations (a) GENERAL Nairobi Ai rporl is one of the fastest developing a irports in Africa since a li aspects of its acti vity show steady increases. T his rapid development is m ainly due to the geographical position of Nairobi which makes it a focal poin t from which internatio nal airline services can radiale to the North, South, East and West. Hence Nairobi Airport is weil sited to play a n important part in the development of Civil Avia tion in Africa. This statement is clarified by the fact tha t Civil Aviation a uthorities in K enya are kept busy throughout each year by foreign governments req uesting negotiations for traffic and landing right for their airlines. (b) R UNWAY, APRONS AND TAXIWAYS T he extension in 1962 of the N airobi Airport runway, to a take-off or landing distance of 13,700 ft., with a width of J 50 ft. and a well-prepa red asphalt surface, made it adequate and comparable with other inte rnationa l airports of the world. Similarly, the taxiways and aprons, are capable of accommodating the heaviest jet aircra ft in operation today. The facl tha l hcavy jet a irliners of the world do operate through N airobi Airport wi thout requiring adjustments to the facilities under reference, is a clear evidence of thei r efficiency. There is every expectation that the proposed superso nic transport aircraft with the capability to transport passengers and cargo at up to three times the speed of present day subsonic jet a irliners, can be accommodated by these facilities. For pa rking purposes there is a termina l pa rking apron with thi rteen parking bays, twelve of which a re equipped with 'hydra nt refuelling installations. A subsidiary apron, situated near the East African Airways maintenance hangar, is used for parking aircraft when not immediately required for operational services - mainly those of the national airline, East African Ai rways Corporation. T he cleanliness and serviceability of thesc movement areas are maintained through inspections carried o ut every day by Airport officiais, who report their findings for necessary action. A mechanical suction sweeper together with a sma ll labour force, is employed for cleaning purposes. (c) AIRCRAFr SERV ICING Most of the aircraf t servicing during turnrounds, is carried o ut by t he East African Airways Corporation, acting as the handling agent for a number of airline operato rs. H owever, a few other a irlines namely, E thiopian Airlines, Alitalia, Air-Jndia and Ai r France, do their own engineering and associated a ircraft servicing. E ngine changes, major repairs and maintenance can be undertaken at ~ h e a ÏJ·port for ali civil a ircra ft at present using N airobi Airpo rt. (d) FUELLJNG The total aviation fuel uplift for the year J 965 was 22,875,962.5 imperial gallons. This shows an increase of 24 per cent over that of 1964. This increase is mainl y attributed to the increase of a ircraft frequenting Nairobi Airport and also the introduction of H eavy jets by the a irline operators in thei r Nairobi trunk services. Fuel Reserve N airobi has an aviation fuel reserve of approximately 1, 128,000 gallons. 2 With an average fuel consumption of 1,900,000 gallons per mon th, this quantity of fuel is enough to supply the present traffic for 2.8 weeks in case of any emergency. Duc to the increasi ng number of a ircraft movements it is anticipated that during the year 1966/ 67 the aviation fuel suppliers opera ting at N airobi Airport will install another reserve tank capable of holding approximately 350,000 imperia l gallons. The oil companies providing refuelling services during and by the end of 1965, were: Kenya Shell Limited; Esso Standard (East Africa) Limited; Caltex Oil (Kenya) Limited; Total O il Products (East Africa) Limited and Mobil Oil (East Africa) Limited. (e) Al'RON SERVICES After realizing thal because of increased traffic a singl e Apron Ma rshaller could not cope with the required services, particularly during periods of peak traffic, plans were under way during the year under review to recruit new Apron Ma rshallers. It is hoped that they will assume the full responsibilities of marshalle rs sometime in 1966, thereby making it a possibility to employ two marshallers on each shift. (/) P ASSENGER AND B AGGAGE H AN DLING The introduction in the previous year of Jamhuri Lounge for use by transiting and dcpa rting passengers a nd the extension of the V.I.P. lounge has somewhat allevia ted the problem of lo unge congestion. Due to the increased number of passengers and cargo handled during 1965, 13 more baggage trolleys were brought into use bringing the total number of baggage trolleys in use to 55. lt is a nticipated thal during the fin a ncial year 1966/ 67 more baggage handling equipment such as baggage trolleys, electric tractors, etc., will be purchased to reinforce the existing numbers in use. During 1965 final preparations were made for placing a n order for a large­ capacity apron passenger coach. T he deli very of this coach is expected sometime carly in 1967. (g) A IR CARGO HANDLI NG ( 1) Genera/.- Appcndix VI to this report clea rly de monstrates that 1965 has bcen a year of great expansion in respect of the shipment of goods by a ir. Many items ranging from ra w materia ls to ma nufactured goods have either been exported from or imported into Kenya through Nairobi Airport. As Kenya is ma inly an agricultural country most of the exports included fruits, vegetables and prima ry products. The imports have been mainly manufactured goods, machinery a nd piece goods. (2) Total Cargo Handled.- During the year 1965 a total of about 10,000 kilos of freight were handled through Nairobi Airport. This shows a total increase o f 1,500,000 kilos or approximately 16 per cent compared to the yea r 1964. (3) Export of Fresh Fmits and Vegetables.- T he export of fruit and vegeta bles bot.h overseas a nd within East Africa has been undertaken by the Horticultural Co-operative Union (Ltd.), who have their own inspection point at N a iro bi Airport. 3 During the year 1965 Kenya exported 2,797,464 lb. of fruit and vegetables outside East Africa. Among the main buyers of K enya fruit and vegetables United Kingdom surpassed other coun tries with a total intake of 1,722,614 lb. during ~ he 1965 season.

  • The Emergency Develops 1St Battalion Lancashire Regiment
    The Aden Emergency 1963 - 1967 The Aden Emergency, also known as the Radfan Uprising, was an insurgency against the Occupying Forces of the former British Empire in the Protectorate of South Arabia, which now forms part of Yemen. The uprising began on 14th October 1963 with the throwing of a grenade at British High Commissioner Sir Kennedy Trevaskis, which took place as he arrived at Khormaksar Airport to catch a London-bound flight. The grenade killed a woman and injured fifty other people. On that day, a state of emergency was declared in Aden. The Emergency Develops Anti-British guerrilla groups with varying political objectives began to coalesce into two larger, rival organisations: first the Egyptian-supported National Liberation Front (NLF) and then the Front for the Liberation of Occupied South Yemen (FLOSY), who attacked each other as well as the British. Between 1963 and 1967 the NLF and FLOSY waged a continuous campaign against British forces in Aden, relying largely on grenade attacks mainly focused on killing off-duty British officers and policemen. By 1965, the RAF station RAF Khormaksar was operating nine squadrons. These included transport units with helicopters and a number of Hawker Hunter fighter bomber aircraft. 1st Battalion Lancashire Regiment (Prince of Wales's Volunteers) The 1st Battalion Lancashire Regiment (Prince of Wales's Volunteers) (PWV) were deployed in South Arabia from January to October 1967. Local St Helens soldiers served in Aden among the ranks of the 1st Battalion Lancashire Regiment (PWV). They arrive at Radfan Camp in January 1967 and were immediately drawn into action.

Iredale, Heidelberg, Germany All rights reserved Five Decades Ago 3 INTRODUCTION I was shocked to find that fifty years had passed, since I first set foot on Aden‘s rocky ground in 1963. This fact did at least supply the title for these recollections of mine. I left well before the British withdrawal in 1967 and the majority of my stay was spent before the ugly head of terrorism rose up and made life dangerous for both the Adeni population and the British forces. For this, I am grateful. Heidelberg, June 2013 Email: [email protected] Acknowledgements 1.

  • British Overseas Airways Corporation 1940 – 1950 and Its Legacy
    Journal of Aeronautical History Paper No. 2013/03 BRITISH OVERSEAS AIRWAYS CORPORATION 1940 – 1950 AND ITS LEGACY Captain Dacre Watson Abstract BOAC was formed in 1939 as a merger of Imperial Airways and British Airways. During the World War the airline operated as directed by the Secretary of State for Air, initially as the transport service for the RAF, with no requirement to act commercially. Sir John Reith, who was Chairman of Imperial Airways and then BOAC until January 1940, laid down the ethos that service to the public rather than profits and dividends should be the driving force for the airline. During the war BOAC operated transatlantic services plus a network of African and Middle Eastern routes centred on Cairo. After the war the airline experienced continuing political interference over routes to be operated and aircraft to be used. It had great difficulty acquiring the American airliners it needed to provide competitive services. The airline set up Aden Airways and Hong Kong Airways, took shareholdings in Middle East Airlines, Cyprus Airways and Gulf Aviation, and set up management contracts with Kuwait Airways and Iraq Airways. In the Far East BOAC became similarly involved with Malayan Airways, Borneo Airways and Fiji Airways. There is a case to be made that the main beneficiaries of BOAC’s post imperial activities were the many subsidiary airlines, some of which would develop into the flag carriers of newly independent countries, which were able to exploit the benefits of BOAC’s expertise, infrastructure and assets. It is, in the view of the author, one of the best examples of colonial altruism and one which has been an enduring gift from a fading Empire.

  • From Collective Memory to Nationalism: Historical Remembrance in Aden
    FROM COLLECTIVE MEMORY TO NATIONALISM: HISTORICAL REMEMBRANCE IN ADEN A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Arab Studies By Kevin Alexander Davis, B.A. Washington, DC April 31, 2014 Copyright 2014 by Kevin Alexander Davis All Rights Reserved ii FROM COLLECTIVE MEMORY TO NATIONALISM: HISTORICAL REMEMBRANCE IN ADEN Kevin Alexander Davis, B.A. Thesis Advisor: Rochelle Davis, PhD. Abstract In Aden, the former capital of the People’s Democratic Republic of South Yemen, a popular nationalist movement has emerged demanding a rescinding of the unification agreement that joined north and south Yemen in 1990. This paper explores the way in which history is being remembered, framed, and utilized to create a sense of coherent national identity rooted in historical understandings in Aden. This study draws upon ethnographic research and interviews conducted in Aden, Yemen and analyzes the social, political, and economic forces that have influenced this nationalist awakening. I focus on the concept of collective memory to explore how southerners are framing their understandings of a national past in light of current everyday realities and how new conceptions of Aden’s colonial and socialist past are invoking new senses of nostalgia for remembered notions of liberal urban lifestyles. Drawing on theoretical works in the fields of collective memory and nationalism, I also examine the power structures that allow for certain narratives to become accepted while others are silenced, both in the context of a unified Yemen and within the south itself.
