The Epitaph
The photo below shows the arrival of the Governor, Lord Soames, in Bulawayo on 4 January 1980. The photo, in Outpost was provided by CID photographer Chris Mills. This is an excellent picture with more than a touch of unconcious symbolism. The line of the RAF Hercules and the awaiting motocade, led by S/O Allan Hatfield in the forground, drew an unmistakeable shape of a question mark as we ventured into the new decade.

The motor vehicles in the pic are the Police Peugeot Bee Car as well as the two Bentley's that conveyed Lord Soames around - I seem to recall that they were airlifted in, the one used by Sir Humphrey Gibbs having probably been excused service by the Brits. as being too old!
