Kestrel Aviation Ltd

I’m busy with some research on Dakotas (with a South African connection)and am looking for anyone with info regarding an outfit called Kestrel Aviation Ltd that possibly operated from the South Coast in the 1970’s? Maybe from somewhere in Kent?

Kestrel International Airways (Kestrel Aviation Ltd), formed in 1969 to operate charter services, went into liquidation in November 1972.

A second Dakota (OO-CBU) was aquired from Delta Air Transport in Belgium – but never entered service.
