Greetings all, i am the author of the essay posted above for RUSI. There is no mention of ansons in it because this was a short essay and i was limited on words. however they were there for sure. I started researching the RAF contribution to the MAu Mau op in 2010 when I was at staff college in 2010 – I wrote a 15000 word dissertation on it. I have been in touch with many people who were there – pilots and ground crew and even some who worked on the ansons involved in the Op itself. I guess I am probably regarded as an authority on the subject by now. Ansons were used predominantly for supply drops to the troops. If anybody has any questions about what the RAF did in Kenya in the MAu Mau ops, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. best regards
