Crashed Viking Search, 1953


In 1953 an East African Airways Viking crashed in Tanganyika. Despite a massive search area, local peoples helped direct the search teams to the crash site. Their testimony also helped establish how it had crashed. This picture shows Randal Sadleir who coordinated the search.
