If you can give us an updated version of your info with blanks then we will be more specific in our searches. I think you have a pretty good version as SA info is just so difficult. Passenger listings for this time frame are very few and far between!! I presume you have ordered documents from Naiirs via EGGsa eg his death cert?

In future please do not start another topic without putting up links to your other posts. There are few of us that have enough time in the day for all the things we need to do!!

Thanks
Ruth
