Also found a letter from Joubert van Ingen of Van Ingen and van Ingen taxidermists where he told me he went to Tanganyika just after the end of WWII (he'd been a prisoner of the Japanese in Thailand, so must have been a tough SOB). He bought an old truck, hired some staff bought a hunting licence for 100 pounds that featured (see list below) and taken off to go hunting. Amongst the animals he took were 2 Elephants, one went just under 100 lbs a side and the other about 80 lbs a side.

Here's the list and below it a few pics..... some of which, I don't remember where or when they were taken.

2 x elephants
10 x buffalo
20 x zebra
2 x greater kudu
2 x sable
2 x roan
4 x lions
leopard, warthog and plains game, no limit.

C1992(?) I walked into this lot when I was helping a friend with her research. All I had in my hands was a pen, clipboard and GPS. I was in arse kicking range before I saw them and backed our PDQ. Pic was taken a few minutes later when I took drove my friend in to show her why I'd ran back to the truck without getting the data I'd gone for.




Don't know about the date but late 80s - early 90s and in (I think) Sabi Sands ish area


Ngorongoro Crater, late (ish) 90s



No idea where or when except probably 80s



Zambezi Valley C19blackandwhite.


Early-mid 80s.



C1990



Clate 90s Tanzania


No idea where or when



I think it's the same Lion as is eating the Buff but don't remember if it was taken at the same time..... probably was though.



Early 90s next to Crocodile River. Taken on foot when I was doing research and only had pen, clipboard, GPS and camera with me.

Ah, but is that genuine pink nose or is it healing scar tissue, blood, mud or other foreign matter?

I also seem to remember that one of the brothers held the mahseer record for a long time but would guess that's long been broken. Lokks like there's one to the right of the door in that last pic.
