I have some vague memory that a book has been published on the history of Shell Aviation. Can anyone confirm this? What is the correct title and who is the author?
Many thanks for any help …………… Planemike

Does anyone have a copy of the book they could consult for me? I would like to know whether there is any information included on Shell Aviation in Kenya, particularly photographs of the aircraft that were registered to them in Kenya. VP-KAI deH 60M Moth VP-KBM deH 87A Hornet Moth

Sadly Hugh passed away a few years ago now – we used to correspond regularly and ‘talk Rapide’ cos he used to fly one out of St Just.
