Umhlali Cemetery

13 May Umhlali Cemetery

I completed an unfinished shoot at the above cemetery and along with the usually interesting family graves such as Hulett, Balcolm, Thrings and Jex , was a gravestone of Ruby Natalie Garland who died in an air crash on Mount Kilimanjaro on 18 May 1955, aged 63.

I googled this air crash, which I was unaware of to find that the DC3 on route from Tanzania to Kenya flew straight into the mountain killing all on board, 4 crew and 18 pax. It would seem that pilot error was involved.
