Wilson Airways was set up by Mrs Florence Kerr Wilson to provide air services in Kenya and Tanzania. Her company paved the way for commercial aviation in East Africa. By 1938 the fleet included one DH.84 Dragon, four DH.89 Dragon Rapides and two DH.90 Dragonflies. On the outbreak of WWII the aircraft, including this one, were requisitioned by the Kenya Auxiliary Air Unit. Photo by: H.
