    This photo was used on a Christmas card they sent to the Rhodesian AF 1977.

    I am intrigued by the background, is it sand? banked along a waterway? The two wheeled contraption does not look like a trolley acc. more like a trolley to move a flying boat?

    You may be onto something there!!

    Let me re-phrase that. 🙂

    22 Service Flying Training School was at Thornhill and part of the Rhodesian Air Training Group.

    Some reference refer to this as the Air School.

    My mistake.

    Mark

    22 Air School was at Vereeniging, South Africa and was part of the Joint Air Training Scheme.

    I Believe 22SFTS Vereeniging Air School was at Thornhill, Southern Rhodesia, operating Harvards and with a support Hurricane. Disbanded in September 1945.

    Although at this stage no unit can be attributed to FCRB, the codes are applied in the typical Flying Training Command Style.

    Mark

    Vereeniging is the name of a place in South Africa. The major types used by 22 Air School were the Hind, Miles Master II and the Harvard. The station was handed over to 15 AD early 1946.

    I can only see one? The Spit and the wing alongside it. Then again my eyesight is rubbish 🙂

    I would say that the reflection is of the same Spitfire. The Harvards in SA had numbers.

    Thanks for the information Mark12.

    Closer inspection of the wing does not reveal if it is TE or TD.

    Not to say that they are related but identifiable photo’s (Non Spitfire) in the pack, indicate that it may have been at 22 A/S, Vereeniging, South Africa. (1944-45).
