Try to verify things first before you wail.

About Explorers.. He never claimed he's the owner of things he post he

He always put link to the source.. Haters everywhere

In fairness to the complainer, there was an article in 2015 on Premium Times with this subject in much more detail. It's an interesting read, though maybe too much info for your average nairaland reader so autojosh was wise to have less text. But should have credited it?

The history of Nigerian aviation can be traced back to November 1, 1925, when the first aircraft to ever land in Nigerian landed in Kano.

90 years ago, an aircraft belonging to the Royal Airforce (RAF) – De Havilland DH 9A – touched down Nigeria.

The air trip to Nigeria from Helwan (a town in Egypt) was led by the then Flight Lt. Coningham.

Nigerians awaited the arrival of the aircraft re-scheduled to land by 5pm. At 5.10 pm on 1 November 1925, Coningham landed the aircraft on a polo ground outside Kano’s ancient walls.

There were crowds of about 20,000 people who came to witness the first aircraft to land in Nigeria.

Vincent Orange’s book, the “Coningham: A Biography of Air Marshal Sir Arthur Coningham”, vividly captured the expedition.

Kano residents only saw plane again ten years after the Coninghams’ departure when Imperial Airways aircraft landed during the reign of Emir Abdullahi Bayero in 1935.

Coningham who is the pilot that landed the first aircraft in Nigeria was presumed dead on January 30, 1948 when the airliner he was flying to Bermuda got missing off the coast of USA. Hi death remains one of the unsolved mysteries of the aviation history. His whereabouts is still not known till date.

Chai! Such a pathetic end though but my mind was thinking something like that before I got to read that part.

RIP to him! !!

Because Nigerians want cheap airline.

One of the things that wrecked Nigeria airways was the refusal of many Nigerians to pay excess luggage costs.

Am sure if we set up an airline, people will insist on flying at 10000 per flight because we are an oil rich nation.And when the airline fails, ..
what wrecked the airline was bad mgt. Peops can refuse to pay for excess luggage if the mgt is bad, can same be said for British airways or delta?

It would have been a good tourist edifice but what do I know..
British and Americans keep their old planes in their museums not your museums.

I think if a nation wants aircrafts, that nation should be able to build/fabricate either the aircraft or parts of the aircraft. We need more workshops with electricity and raw materials. These are required to create/maintain the parts of the aircrafts. It should be a normal thing.
Not this one we are doing that if you need to replace one glass on the screen, you will import from Europe, one tire - America.

Autojosh is not the author of the article. Typical Nigerian stealing intellectual property with giving credit to the real author of the article.

Nice one. But if it's this type of plane he used to travel around the Bermuda then I'm not too surprised it's missing. Much bigger and more efficient planes have gone down in that zone, it still remains a baffking mystery.

Definitely wasn't that old plane! Check the premium times article, it was an airliner.
