Stunning Salisbury

My good friend, Wally Joyce, recently received a number of Rhodesian Postcards form Mrs. Pat Wise, widow of the late John who was in the Safety Equipment Section of the Rhodesian Air Force.

Wally took time out to scan and forward the images to me. I then approached Wally to see if there was any identification on the cards, the information has now been added to the images.

ORAFs would like to record its thanks to Pat and also to Wally.

A personal observation is that I have never seen a photo including both the flame lily and Zimbabwe bird. See image 1.

Sit back, relax and enjoy.

Browsing the book "A Scantling of Time" by G H Tanser. Thinking of the colourful pictures of the Capital's superb tree-lined avenues you have sent out in recent times, I came across this picture and found the contrast fascinating. Those who designed and brought to life the city were certainly an energetic and far-sighted bunch.
