Aero - Archie Watkins, chief mechanic of the Motor Mart and Exchange (Nairobi Branch) took the opportunity of obtaining his Air Ministry Ground Engineers Licences whilst in England. …….. Archie Watkins became Chief Engineer [of Wilson Airways].

Bate - [John Carberry's two Bugattis] - Both cars were attended to by that legendary figure in Kenya's aviation circles, Mr Archie Watkins, a very large and fearsome no-nonsense task master, but engineer par excellence, one of the old school. Finger marks were absolutely taboo on any of Mr Watkins's aeroplanes or beloved engines under pain of a fate far worse than death! He had flown as engineer with the first air mails to Britain in, I believe, Fokkers.
