Thanks for the corroborating information, Mark, we have arrived at the same conclusion – that documents may have been destroyed upon the company’s sale.
My late father worked for Airwork Services Ltd., so possibly this was a subsidiary covering contracts with external companies/governments?
I must have another delve into dad’s file to see what else I can unearth. I have his passports so I can trace where he was at any given time but not what he was doing. I also have his security passes for Sudan, Nigeria and Oman, but as usual they’re not much help!
However, it’s the actual company and its activities that interest me for I too believe it is one of Britain’s best kept secrets.
By the way, have you seen this yet? Interesting to me as I remember the two jets leaving Khartoum without IDs or roundels and when we arrived in Nigeria a couple of months later, there they were! (You could see the air base hardstanding in Kaduna as it was across the runway from the civilian airport terminal). However, the two JPs left shortly afterwards because on a tour of the base a day or so later they had gone.
