Equatorial elegance



 


Herewith a photo from 89 FSS Kenya which I took on the equator near Eldoret en route for Lodwar (NFD) in September 1958. Most of the lads were NS or 3 year regulars. Only a few names come to mind: from left to right: Doug Witt (MT), unknown (MT), Mick Bunn? (surveyor), Bill Purves (MT), unknown (hidden), unknown (MT), unknown (MT), unknown (surveyor), unknown (MT), unknown (MT), Holmes? (surveyor), SSM "Chimpy" Freestone. As regards surveyors in the Sqn, apart from Alan McVeagh, there were the Percival twins Bob and Phil and I seem to remember Bob Paxton too, but otherwise no other names come readily to mind. Can anyone help me?
