Help with airgraph?

Post by mike.mood@talktalk.net »

Is anybody out there studying airgraphs? If so I have one which is puzzling me and identification is proving problematic..

It is from Kenya. I know that Stephens is a mess as far as East Africa is concerned and that Keeton attempts to correct it, but both conspire to leave me floundering.

If I just go with Stephen then this is I believe a straightforward EA/10. However, the layout of text at top left is unlike ANY of the illustrations in Keeton and is CERTAINLY not Keeton's EA/11 which he says corresponds to Stephens' EA/10.

What is going on here :?: :?: :?:

Actually I found the answer myself by reading the body of the airgraph. The form was designed for civilian use in Tanganyka and Keeton does have a TA/01 which matches this format.

The airgraph was sent by a Lieut IHC Godgrey who is mentioned in Keeton and must have been a prolific sender of airgraphs and probably had something to do with airgraph administration.

Mystery solved!
