Hi again, Planemike. Possibly this may have been connected to the African tour of the Prince of Wales (Edward VIII to be). According to reports his father George V took seriously ill on 23rd September 1928 whilst Edward was in Kenya. The King did recover but I guess the newspapers of the day would want to be ready in case he did not?

Mothminor…… Thank you for your response. Yes, I can see that as a possibility. Members of our royalty and nobility were fairly regular visitors to Kenya in the 1920/30s, often to help reduce the wildlife population !! Geoffrey de Havilland also made a number of trips to Kenya around that time, observing wildlife but also I suspect popping in to see Wilson Airways who were deH customers…..
