Missing Southern Rhodesia Air Force serials SR14-SR21?
Hi Guys,
Southern Rhodesia began to form its own air unit in the mid 1930s with an assortment of Hawker Harts and Audaxes, and de Havilland Rapides and Tiger Moths. These had the serials SR1-SR13. After WWII the sequence resumed with SR22. What aircraft filled the serials SR14-21? Two possibilities occur to me. 1) The serials were given to assorted civil de Havilland Moths of different types impressed for training at the outbreak of war. or 2) The serials were given to some Hawker Hardys delivered to the SRAF's No.1 Squadron in Kenya, shortly before it was taken into the RAF in April 1940. In both cases the numbers are about right. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers, Sid. |
