History of Fairey Surveys Ltd
This photograph was in the album of Southern Rhodesia photographs from John Keay, passed on by Lawrence Scott. It seems more appropriate here!

This photo album was passed on by Lawrence Scott for inclusion here. The photographs date mostly from 1950/51, and are of operations in Southern Rhodesia, except for the first few, which presumably were taken en route to Rhodesia in Fairey’s Dakota G-AKNM.
Most of the photographs have notes on the back, so they have been included as is, rather than having captions which might be incorrect interpretations.
Click on the links to open, then you should be able to enlarge the images enough to read the writing on the backs of the photos. Putting the pictures in as ‘jpg’ photographs didn’t work – it wasn’t possible to enlarge them enough to read the notes. If anyone wants the digital pictures, please get in touch using the ‘Contact’ page, and they can be sent by email.
Rhodesia album envelope photos
This last photograph is included as it was inside the album, but has also been put into the ‘Social Life’ section.
Attached is a photograph from Colin Price of the Clyde Surveys Managing Director signing what is presumably an important document or contract, with Miles Henry on his left. Can anyone identify the occasion and date?
From Colin Price we have a set of photos posed for an advertisement (anyone recognise it?), a picture from a Kodak shoot (complete with guns) circa 1988, and a shot of the Clyde MD signing an important contract or sale document. Colin also sent in some beautiful oblique photos of Windsor Castle. Click on the thumbnail photograph to see the full version.
