G.R. Boyd-Carpenter: The First Man That Owned A Private Jet In Kano (Photos) by TheAutoReporter: 4:40pm On Jul 30, 2019
According to a post by Jafaar, a journalist based in Kano State, he gave an in-depth into the man who owes the first private jet in Kano State.

According to him, he said, A Kano-based merchant, Mr G.R. Boyd-Carpenter, was arguably the first person to own a plane in Kano in 1928. His De Havilland Cirrus-Moth light plane flew across most Northern parts of Nigeria in the late 20s and early 30s.

When Irish female aviator Lady Bailey was flying solo through Africa along the west coast in 1929, she met Boyd-Carpenter and his D.H. Moth at a stopover in Kano as shown in the second picture.

Boyd-Carpenter later escorted her from Kano to Zaria, where she took off for London. The third picture shows Mr Boyd-Carpenter in Zaria, preparing for his return flight to Kano.

See pictures of his private jet below...

A jet is any aircraft powered by jet propulsion .the plane you have shown is powered by internal combustion engine driving a propeller so change your title and remove the word jet because that's not jet but a single engine prop

But, koda me kazo an fika.
if you were born in the north, can you make yourself a southerer?
If you were born in the south, can you make yourself a northerner?
Which part of your borning did you actually control?

Things have happened in this part of the world and we are just witnesses to all this. No need to make fun or laugh at any tribe

Well.... I actually don't intend to underrate the Northerners, but I can beat my chest that Boyd-Carpenter is not a name they answer in the North. So come off it please.

What is special about a white man that owned the first private plane in Kano if not that we just love to celebrate stupidities. You couldn't show his face so we would think Boyd carpenter sound like a northerners' name. Stop this nonsense, there are better things like groundnut pyramids to remember not one oppressor flying around in a flying coffin.
