Air Mauritius Limited.

This is a little bit about military aircraft of yore. Warbirds could be anything from string & canvas biplanes to some of the older jets, and still look as good today as they must have looked on their first appearance. A number of the aircraft pictured here have flown combat missions.

'Warbirds' is a collection of the author's photographs, mostly of museum shots. There is a guest page, where pictorial contributions are welcome.Enjoy the pictures!

Rodrigues is linked by air only with Mauritius; it has no international air services of its own. Two Air Mauritius flights with 48 seater planes are scheduled daily. The main aircraft serving the island is the ATR72 of Air Mauritius. There are daily flights to Rodrigues Island.

The journey lasts for one and a half hour and the plane leaves the island only forty-five minutes later after having landed. There is no refuelling and you can watch your luggage being loaded as you move to board the aircraft.

Ireland Blyth Limited was incorporated as a private company on 14th July 1972 following the merger of Blyth Brothers & Co. Ltd and Ireland Fraser & Co. Ltd, both of which had been trading in Mauritius since the early nineteenth century.

Ireland Blyth Limited remained a private company until 1994 when it was converted into public and was admitted on the Official List of the Stock Exchange of Mauritius.

The liner agency Blyth Brothers operate as an independent subsidiary and represents major shipping lines which link Mauritius to worldwide destinations.

Hinduism originally came to Mauritius with Indians who worked as indentured servants of European settlers of the island. As of 2000, 48% of the country follows Hinduism, which makes Mauritius the only country in Africa where Hinduism is the dominant religion.
