Funny and unfortunate how only BBC and other British news outlets have video footage of old Nairobi. KBC/ VoK have very little. Sad

They were sleeping on the jobs kama saa hii bado. Look at something like the SGR , very few media houses are covering the thing , you look at documentaries with patched up info from various video links and you know at least someone was filming. Those who will be born 50 yrs from now will not have the info on something like SGR construction. Its part of the country history even if it does not look so to some.

KBC have a lot of footage from that era stored away in their archives. All it needs is for some well meaning Kenyan to digitise that content and share it online.

I am just wondering how long it took that Goosecraft to fly from Naivasha to London.
Anyone?

Coz it could only land on the sea/water body...so from Naivasha to Khartoum at the Nile confluence...fuel up then depart for Red sea...fill up and then dash to Mediterrenian. fill up more and dash hivyo hivyo mpaka River Thames!
