Return to Bristow Bases

..........Bristow Base: Rhodesia
Sparse details at present but some good images.

The photos were taken in 1963 and show
Hiller 12s being used on a contract for
Rhodesian Federal Surveys working with
Rhodesian United Air Carriers ( RUAC)
who were based at Salisbury Airport.


The Granite outcrops were typical of the
Rhodesian countryside.





The twig construction in this picture and
the small lighthouse in the following one
are survey markers.










Rhodesia-Namwala, July 1963, VP-YVP.
Yes, it is real - a friendly wild one apparently
although it did savage the odd local!



Obviously not that wild!
